Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup whole milk room temperature
  • 6 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp butter cut into 12 small pieces

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a small cube of butter (about 1 tsp) into each of the 12 muffin cups.
  2. Place the muffin tin in the oven for 2-3 minutes just until the butter is melted and sizzling. Watch closely so it does not burn.
  3. Combine eggs, flour, milk, salt, and vanilla in a blender. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the hot muffin cups, filling them about halfway up.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the pancakes are puffed high and golden brown on top.
  6. Remove from oven and serve immediately with powdered sugar, syrup, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients help the batter rise higher.
  • The pancakes will deflate shortly after coming out of the oven; this is normal.
