Oven Pancake with Berries

Thick pancake that puffs up high in a hot oven, topped with mixed berries and dusted with powdered sugar.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 4 eggs
• 150 g flour
• 300 ml milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 40 g butter
• 300 g mixed red berries
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C top/bottom heat and place a 26 cm ovenproof pan or dish inside to get it really hot.
2. Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, sift in the flour and stir to a smooth, runny batter; let stand for 10 min.
3. Pick over the berries, halve the larger fruit and drain everything well on kitchen paper.
4. Add the butter to the hot dish, let it melt briefly and pour in the batter immediately – it should sizzle, otherwise the pancake won't puff up.
5. Bake without opening the oven for 18–22 min., until the edge has puffed up high and turned deep golden brown and the center feels set.
6. Scatter the berries over the hot pancake, dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately straight from the dish.
