Description
A giant, fluffy skillet pancake that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfect for sharing at brunch or enjoying as an easy weekend treat. Top it with butter, syrup, or fresh fruit!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (cast iron works best) inside the oven while it preheats.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter will be a little lumpy — don’t overmix!
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Grease it generously with butter.
- Pour the batter into the hot skillet, smoothing the top. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- A cast-iron skillet works best for evenly crisp edges.
- Don’t overmix the batter to ensure a fluffy texture.
- This pancake can be customized with toppings like fresh fruits or nuts.
