·         2 tablespoons unsalted butter

·         Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare:

Add the unsalted butter allowing it to melt and coat the bottom evenly.

Pour and Bake:

 Pour the pancake batter into the hot buttered skillet.

 Immediately return it to the oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the pancake puffs up and turns a beautiful golden brown.

Serve:

Remove the pancake from the oven and dust it with confectioners' sugar. Serve it hot, and feel free to add fresh berries or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra flavor.

Tips and Tricks:

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
