Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Fresh lemon juice (for serving)

Fresh berries or sliced fruit (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) in the oven to heat up.

    Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps, and the mixture is light and airy.

      Add Butter: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven (use oven mitts as it will be very hot) and pour the melted butter into the batter, whisking quickly to combine.

        Bake the Pancake: Pour the batter back into the hot skillet. Return it to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake puffs up and turns golden brown around the edges.

          Serve It Up: Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven, and let it cool for a minute. Dust generously with powdered sugar, then squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for a bright kick.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Top with fresh berries or sliced fruit if desired. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
