Description

This Oven Pancakes recipe offers a fluffy, golden baked pancake that perfectly serves 8 to 10 people. Made with simple ingredients like eggs, whole milk, and butter, these pancakes are baked in the oven for a hands-off approach that yields a light, airy texture with a crisp top. Ideal for a comforting breakfast or brunch, served best with Greek yogurt, honey, and preserves.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 3 tablespoons


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 480º F and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Combine Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs and 4 1/4 cups whole milk until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted unsalted butter (7 tablespoons), granulated sugar (1 tablespoon), and salt (1 teaspoon) into the egg and milk mixture to incorporate all flavors evenly.
  4. Mix in Flour: Sift the 2 cups plus 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients. Continue mixing gently until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
  5. Pour Batter Into Pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake at High Temperature: Bake in the oven at 480º F for 15 minutes to start the cooking with high heat, which helps the pancake rise and develop a crisp surface.
  7. Lower Heat and Continue Baking: Reduce the oven temperature to 430º F and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the pancake is deeply golden on top and cooked through.
  8. Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the pancake to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. It will deflate slightly. Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt, honey, and your favorite preserves.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for the best texture and flavor; low-fat milk can alter the richness.
  • Make sure to preheat the oven properly to ensure the pancake rises well.
  • The pancake will deflate upon cooling—that’s normal and expected.
  • You can substitute butter with a non-dairy alternative if needed, but it may slightly change the flavor and texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
