Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp butter
- Powdered Sugar for dusting
- Tropical fruit pieces Starfruit, Apple Banana, Papaya, Mango, etc)
- 1 Cast Iron/oven safe pan or skillet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. If you have a convection oven, set it at 425°F (the pancakes rise even higher on the convection setting).
- In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk or fork.
- Stir in the milk, melted butter, salt and sugar.
- Add the flour to the egg mixture, a big spoonful at a time as you continue to whisk. Be careful not to over-mix, to keep the pancake light and fluffy.
- Lightly spray a 9"-11" oven-safe skillet with cooking spray.
- Pour the batter into a heated skillet (this will yield a more golden brown, puffier pancake).
- Bake 12-18 minutes, just until the edges are golden.
- Check your pancake at the 12 minute mark.
- Top with the fresh fruit and whipped cream just before serving.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Top with butter, Starfruit or Papaya slices, dust with powdered sugar.
- (Serves 4 small or 2 large servings)
