Popover Pancake Recipe

  • Make batter: preheat oven to 425F(220C). In a large mixing bowl, add 0.5 cup(120ml) milk, 1 tsp(5ml) vanilla extract, 1 tbsp(12g) sugar, and 3 eggs. Mix these together with a whisk until well combined. Gradually add 0.5 cup(60g) flour to the mixture while whisking to eliminate all lumps.
  • Prepare Baking. Get a heavy bottomed baking dish. You can use a Dutch pot, baking dish, or cast iron pan. I found that my 2.5 quart(2.4L), 9 inch(20cm) diameter baking dish works best. Bigger pots can work just fine but produce a thinner pancake. You can easily scale up the recipe using different pots and baking in parallel. Put 4 tablespoons(57g) unsalted butter in a baking dish and put it in the preheated oven. Once the butter is melted and bubbling a bit (Make sure it does not burn! It takes roughly 2 min for me but it depends on a lot of factors. Visual check is the safest!), remove the dish from the oven.
  • Bake. Add the batter to the dish and return baking dishes to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 300F(150C) and bake 5 more minutes.
  • Serving. Take the finished pancake out of the oven. Gently use a spatula to loosen the pancake from the baking dish, working around the outside. Once the pancake is on a plate, serve with the syrup, lemon slices, and/or fruit preserves on the side.
