Panquecas alemãs de forno

Ingredientes

• 1 1/3 cups whole milk ((320 ml))
• 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour (spooned and leveled (165 grams))
• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar ((50 grams))
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (sliced (70 grams))
• Optional: confectioners sugar, maple syrup, favorite berries of choice

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

2. 2

   Add the whole milk, flour, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Blend on high speed for 10 to 15 seconds or until smooth and no lumps remain. If needed, stop the blender, scrape down the sides, and blend for a few more seconds to make sure everything is well combined. Set aside.

3. 3

   Place the sliced butter into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan and place it in the oven until the butter is fully melted, this should only take 2 to 3 minutes. Make sure to keep a close eye on the butter, you don’t want it to burn!

4. 4

   Carefully, remove the pan with the melted butter from the oven and swirl it around.

5. 5

   Once the oven is back to temperature, slowly pour the blended batter into the hot-buttery pan in a figure 8 pattern. Do not stand right over the pan, in case any butter splatters.

6. 6

   Return the pan with the batter to the oven and bake for 22 to 27 minutes or until the pancake is puffed, golden, and looks firmly set.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving. The pancake will deflate as it cools, this is normal!

8. 8

   Enjoy with dusted confectioners sugar, maple syrup, fruit, etc!
