Categories     Egg     Side     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 9

For the Pancakes
8 extra-large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup half-and-half
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 4 tablespoons, melted, for brushing on the pancakes
For the Topping
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Confectioners' sugar
2 lemons, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a large blender, combine the eggs, flour, and half-and-half. Blend on medium speed until the batter is fairly thick and smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender container several times.
  • Place 4 tablespoons of the softened butter in each of two 10-inch or 11-inch cast-iron skillets. Place each skillet over low heat and melt the butter.
  • Pour the batter over the melted butter in the skillets, making sure the batter is evenly distributed.
  • Carefully slide the skillets into the oven. Bake the pancakes for 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
  • Transfer the pancakes from the skillets to large plates or shallow bowls with a large spatula. Immediately pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter over each pancake. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and place wedges of lemon for squeezing on top of the sugared pancakes. Serve immediately.

These pancakes are a great make-ahead breakfast. I just pop them in the oven in the morning, and they're ready to eat in no time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pancakes turned out flat and dense. They were not at all light and fluffy like the picture.

These pancakes were really bland. I had to add a lot of syrup and butter to make them palatable.

I had a hard time getting the pancakes to cook evenly. The edges were overdone, while the centers were still raw.

These pancakes were a bit too eggy for my taste, but my family loved them.
