How to Make Puffed Pancake

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a blender, combine 3 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Blend on medium speed for about 15 seconds, until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet. You can do this by placing the skillet in the preheated oven for about 30 seconds, or on the stovetop.
  5. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven (use oven mitts!). Spread the melted butter to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet.
  7. Return the skillet to the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and lightly golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite toppings. Serve the warm syrup in a small bowl with handles to avoid burns.
