One Big Pancake

Dutch Baby, German Pancake, Pannekoeken? Does it even matter what you call it?

 

Preheat oven to 425F, with a cast iron skillet (10" or so) in it.

 

In the jar of a blender, whiz up:

1/2 cup milk

2 eggs

a dribble of vanilla

1/2 cup AP flour

 

When the skillet and oven are nice and hot, open the door and drop 2 tbsp. of butter into the skillet. Close the door and wait for the butter to melt. Open it again and pour the batter in. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and the raised bits are a nice, golden brown.

 

Serve with whatever puts the lead in your pencil. I find that some of the butter the pancake was cooked in jumps up on top of the pancake, so I don't add more. I just float some maple syrup on top. You could do powdered sugar and lemon, like Nikol does. It's all her fault I ate this, by the way.
