Ingredients

  • 1 cup (142 grams) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted, divided
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Pancake syrup, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.

In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Blend until smooth with no lumps, 20 to 30 seconds.

In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter over high heat until foamy. Add the batter and immediately put the skillet in the oven. Bake until the outside of the pancake is puffed and a deep golden color, 17 to 18 minutes.

Remove from the oven, slather with softened butter, and cut into quarters. Pour syrup over the pancake slices and dust with powdered sugar.
