Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Melt butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish in the warming oven
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs. Whisk in flour until clumps are gone.
- Add milk and salt and whisk until combined (this can also be mixed in the blender to avoid clumps).
- Pour batter into the pan of melted butter. Bake for 16–20 minutes. The sides will be overflowing and fluffy, but will come down a bit once the pan is removed from the oven.
- Serve immediately with your toppings of choice.

Notes
- Recipe tips.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or wrap each piece with plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe airtight container, then freeze for 1-2 months. Reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave.
- There are lots of different toppings you can try! We like to top ours with fruit, powdered sugar, and buttermilk syrup.
- For the fluffiest pancakes. Use the freshest eggs possible and add eggs, one at a time, whisking for 30 seconds after each egg.
- Using room temperature eggs and milk helps create a smoother batter that rises better and more evenly.
- Resist the urge to open the oven door as it can cause the pancake to deflate.
