Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) so your pancake can reach that incredible puffiness.
  • In a large, oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat, then remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth without any lumps.
  • Pour the batter into the skillet over the melted butter.
  • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
  • Remove the pancake from the oven, dust it with powdered sugar, and serve with your favorite toppings.
