How to Make Oops Dutch Babies

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 9x13 inch baking pan in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes, or until melted and lightly browned.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (13.4 oz) pancake mix, 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
Carefully remove the hot baking pan from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. The edges should be set and the center slightly jiggly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings like powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup!
