How to Make Scandinavian Pancake

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.
  2. Remove the hot skillet from the oven and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Swirl to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Carefully pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden.
  6. Turn on the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning, until the top is lightly browned and caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Top with fresh fruit (berries, sliced bananas, apples) and a sprinkle of powdered sugar or brown sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
