Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 380 °F, place an oven-safe skillet in it and let it get hot.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups milk, 3 eggs, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar, ½ Tablespoon lemon zest, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well using a hand whisk or an electric mixer with a whisk attachment.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Put 1 teaspoon unsalted butter in a well-heated skillet and let it melt. Pour the batter over it, about two ladlefuls. Allow the batter to spread evenly across the entire surface of the skillet.
  4. Place the skillet with the batter in the oven to bake. In 10-15 minutes, the pancake will rise and turn golden around the edges. Once this happens, you're done!
  5. Transfer the Svítek pancake to a plate and top with fresh blueberries. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

  • SERVING:
  • The basic recipe makes 2 servings (each 8" / 20 cm diameter pancake).
  • SERVING: For best enjoyment, serve the puffed pancakes as soon as they come out of the oven. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and scatter a handful of blueberries on top. Slice the pancakes into wedges and place on plates.
  • While the fluffy part of the pancake may settle as it cools, rest assured that it won't diminish the delicious flavor. These pancakes are at their best when eaten warm.
  • If you have leftover pancakes, let them cool completely, wrap them and store them in the refrigerator. Best to eat within three days. 
  • I do not recommend freezing the pancakes.
