Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar for serving

  4. Pour the batter into the melted butter in the baking dish.
  5. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
