Preheat the oven to 400°F, and place the butter into a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Place the skillet in the oven and allow butter to melt.
While butter is melting, place the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer or blender. Combine until smooth.
3 large eggs, ⅔ cup whole milk, ⅔ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Carefully pour the batter into the hot skillet over the melted butter.
Place the skillet back in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes and cook until the center of the pancake is set.
Serve warm with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs and milk. Cold ingredients don't mix as well and keep the pancake from rising as high. Set the ingredients on the counter for about 30 minutes before you start.
Blend until fully smooth. Lumps in the batter can keep it from rising evenly. You can use a whisk, but a blender works better.
Don't open the oven while it bakes. Opening the door lets the heat out and can make the pancake deflate.
Use a 10-inch oven-safe skillet. A bigger pan will give you a thinner, flatter pancake. A smaller one may not cook the pancake through in the middle.
Storage: Leftovers are best eaten the same day, but you can cover and refrigerate them for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes or until warmed through.
