How to Make Puffy Oven Pancake

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter in a 9 x 1 1/4 inch pie plate in the preheated oven for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven and brush the melted butter/margarine up the sides of the pie plate to grease it evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 4 large eggs with a wire whisk or hand beater. Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and deep golden brown.
  7. Immediately remove from the oven and sprinkle generously with fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar before serving.
