Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk or dairy free milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar honey or maple syrup would also work
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour or white wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter to be melted in the pan
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place your cast iron skillet or baking dish in the oven with the butter to melt and heat while the oven preheats.
  • In a blender, add eggs, milk, vanilla. Then add flour, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add butter. Place back into the oven and let it melt being careful that it doesn't burn. Pour the pancake batter into the hot skillet, then scatter the blueberries evenly over the top.
  • Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until puffed and deeply golden around the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Top with whipped cream, maple syrup, extra blueberries, and powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • You can use a 3 qt baking dish, 10 inch or 12 inch cast iron pan. If you use a 12 inch cast iron, your baking time may be shorter.
  • Make sure the pan is fully heated before adding the batter. The hot pan helps create that dramatic rise.
  • Do not open the oven while baking. Sudden temperature changes can cause the pancake to deflate.
  • Serve right away for the best texture and presentation.
