Like watching a skillet of yellow "goo" rise up in the oven to become a puffy, golden miracle of science-- fun to watch, but equally fun to eat (yum, yum).
Call your kids over to take a gander in the oven, right before you pull this baby out, and they will think you are really one amazing mom (or dad) to be able to create such a thing.
Dust it with some confectioner's sugar and serve it with a side of bacon. Viola!
It's okay to get a little messy with the confectioner's sugar. Really, it is.
Puffy Pancake (aka Oven Pancake, German Pancake, and others):
- 6 T unsalted butter
- 6 eggs
- 1 C milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 C flour
- Confectioner's sugar
In a cast-iron skillet (or a glass 13 x 9 pan), melt butter in oven pre-heated to 400-degrees.
Meanwhile, combine eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour. Mix well.
Pouregg/flour mixture into melted butter in skillet. Put back in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until puffy and golden brown. (Note: my pancakes usually get much puffier than what you see in these pictures, so don't be alarmed if it looks as though the Goodyear Blimp parked in your oven!) Using a metal sieve, dust the pancake with confectioner's sugar to taste. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup, fruit or jam.
