Ingredients
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup skim milk room temperature
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar for garmish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F with the oven rack on the middle of your oven. Place an 8 or 10 inch heavy ovenproof frying pan or a cast iron skillet in the oven while it is preheating.
- In a large bowl or blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla extract, and sugar. Beat for 5 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- When the oven is up to temperature, using pot holders, remove the hot skillet from the oven (or do this very carefully on the rack). Add the butter; tilting the pan to melt the butter and coat the skillet. Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, all at once, and immediately return the skillet to the oven.
- Bake approximately 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown, watching carefully. The pancake should puff up around the edges; it may puff irregularly in the center.
- Carefully remove the pancake from the oven and serve immediately. For a classic German/Dutch Baby Pancake, dust the top with powdered sugar.
