Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • ¾ cup 104g all-purpose flour use any standard flour
  • ¾ cup 198ml whole milk or any dairy/nondairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest adds fresh citrus flavor
  • 2 tablespoons 30g granulated sugar for a slight sweetness
  • pinch salt balances the flavor
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract adds warmth and depth
  • 3 tablespoons 45g unsalted butter to grease the pan
Toppings:
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries whipped cream maple syrup strawberry sauce for extra flavor

Equipment

  • 1 Blender To blend the batter until smooth.
  • 1 Oven-safe skillet A 10-inch skillet or any oven-safe dish that holds 3 quarts will work.

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs in a blender and blend on medium-high speed until frothy, about 45 seconds.
  2. Add the flour, milk, lemon zest, sugar, salt, and vanilla to the blender and blend until fully combined. The batter will be thin. Set aside and let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Add butter to a 10-inch oven-safe skillet and place in the oven for 5 minutes until melted. Remove the pan from the oven and brush the melted butter up the sides.
  4. Pour the batter into the center of the hot pan, no need to spread. Place it back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for another 10 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Top with powdered sugar and any desired toppings.
