Ingredients

  • 2 whole eggs
  • 3 egg whites or can use 6 Tbsp of liquid egg whites
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt rounded
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 3 Tbsp butter salted and cubed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°
  • Add the whole eggs, egg whites, milk, flour, vanilla, salt and brown sugar to a blender. Blend the batter on low for 1 minute and then scrape down the sides in case any flour is sticking to the sides. Continue to blend on low for another 2 minutes.
  • Put the butter into a 9x13 baking dish (I used glass) and place into the preheated oven while the batter rests for 5 minutes. The butter should start to boil but watch that it doesn’t burn.
  • When the rest time is done, take the dish out of the oven and swirl the butter to make sure it spreads all over.
  • Give the batter a quick stir or pulse then carefully pour the batter into the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven down to 300° and cook for an additional 5 minutes. While cooking, the pancake edges will puff up about 2 inches above the rim and then deflate when it is taken out of the oven.
  • As soon as it comes out of the oven, swirl the dish once more to distribute any melted butter left on top evenly over the pancake.
  • Serve with strawberries and powdered sugar or syrup.
