Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk plus lemon juice)

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Remove the skillet from the oven and add the butter, allowing it to melt and sizzle.
  5. Pour the batter into the hot skillet and return it to the oven.

  8. Add the sugar and cornstarch, whisking until combined.
  9. Gradually whisk in the buttermilk and cook over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly.
  10. Once the pancake is done, serve it hot with the warm buttermilk sauce drizzled over the top.
