This pancake is so much fun to make! There’s something so delightful about seeing it puff up in the oven. Plus, it’s super simple to whisk together. I love the soft fluffy bottom combined with the crispy edges.
Prepare the batter while the oven is preheating. This gives time for the flour to absorb the liquid.
When you add the butter to the pan in the oven, watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn! After pouring in the batter you start to see the pancake rise pretty early on. You will initially bake it for 15-20 minutes at 425 degrees and then lower the temperature and bake for 5 more minutes. I baked it for the full 20 and started getting a hint of burnt edges. I liked it look that though, so I let it go. You’re welcome to take yours out at 15 minutes.
