Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 2 large eggs For lift
  • 1/2 cup milk For tenderness
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Basic structure of the pancake
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted) For richness and flavor
  • 1 tablespoon sugar Just enough sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt To balance flavors
For Serving
  • Powdered sugar and syrup Optional but recommended

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Ensure it's fully heated before placing the batter inside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, melted butter, sugar, and salt until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish, then pour in the batter which will look shallow.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 20 minutes until the pancake is puffed and has golden-brown edges.
Serving
  1. Pull it from the oven and cut into bite-sized pieces immediately while it's still hot.
  2. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and syrup as desired.

Notes

Whisk well to avoid lumps and ensure the oven is fully preheated for optimal puffing. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
