Cooking Instructions

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3

Melt the Butter

In a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat. Make sure it coats the bottom of the skillet.

4

Pour in the Batter

Once the butter is melted, pour the batter into the skillet. Do not stir; just let it settle.

5

Bake

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.

6

Serve

Remove from the oven, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
