Mom's Puff Pancake recipe only takes 6 staple-pantry ingredients, 5 minutes of prep, and 15 minutes of cooking. Easy enough to make every Saturday morning for breakfast and memorable enough to impress a house full of guests!
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put the 1 tbsp of butter into a 9 in. pie pan and put the pan and butter in the oven while it preheats. Keep an eye on it and take it out when the butter is bubbling (about 3-5 minutes).
While butter melts, in a medium size bowl whisk together the rest of the ingredients until there are no flour lumps. Then, whisk a little more! About a minute of extra whisking will ensure a fluffier pancake.
Pour batter into the buttery, hot pie pan and place back in the oven for 15 minutes. Pancake is done when the sides have risen up forming a nice bowl-shape, and the tops of the risen areas are slightly browned.
