Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and divided
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries mixed, for serving
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar optional, for serving
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a 9- or 10-inch ovenproof skillet or pie pan on the center rack as the oven heats so the pan gets very hot.

  • In a blender, combine the eggs, flour, milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Blend until smooth and frothy, 20-30 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed.
    Or, in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy, then whisk in the flour, milk, almond extract, vanilla, and lemon zest until the batter is smooth with no streaks of flour.

  • With the blender running on low (or whisking by hand), slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of the melted butter until fully incorporated. Reserve the remaining 2 tablespoons for the pan.

  • Bake until the pancake is puffed, deeply golden at the edges, and the center looks set and lightly browned, 12-18 minutes. It will rise dramatically in the oven and then fall slightly as it cools.

  • Remove the pan from the oven. Pile the berries into the center of the pancake.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup as desired. Slice into wedges and serve right away while the pancake is still puffed and warm.
