- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup milk heated for 30 seconds in the microwave
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- Optional toppings: lemon wedges, powdered sugar, pure maple syrup
Preheat the oven to 400℉
Add 1 tbsp butter to a large cast iron or other heavy skillet and place in the oven to heat up.
In a blender combine the melted butter, eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
Carefully swirl the butter in the hot pan and use a pastry brush to coat the sides. Pour the batter in the pan and bake for about 20-22 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Using a spatula, remove the pancake to a cooling rack to allow it to cool for a few minutes. Move to a cutting board and slice into 4 wedges. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and sweetener of your choice.
