Main Ingredients

  • 4 large large eggs The star of the dish, providing a rich, fluffy texture.
  • 1 cup milk Whole or 2% works best, adding creaminess.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour This creates that light, airy structure.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Melted, for a rich flavor and decadence.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Just enough to enhance the sweetness.
  • Powdered sugar For serving, a light dusting adds sweetness.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy and pale.
  • Add the milk, flour, melted butter, and salt to the eggs. Mix until just combined.
  • Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Gently pour the pancake batter into the greased dish and slide it into the oven.
  • Let it bake for 20 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown at the edges.
  • Slice into squares, dust with powdered sugar, and add your favorite toppings.
