Instructions

Step 1 — Preheat and prepare the pan. Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 9-inch ovenproof skillet inside to heat.
Step 2 — Whisk the batter. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Gradually whisk in the flour until there are no lumps; rest 5–10 minutes if possible.
Step 3 — Heat the butter in the pan. Remove the hot pan from the oven and add 2 tablespoons butter, swirling to coat. Return to oven for 1–2 minutes to meld the butter with the pan.
Step 4 — Pour in the batter. Carefully pour the rested batter into the hot pan and tilt to spread it evenly along the edges.
Step 5 — Bake until puffed and golden. Bake on the middle rack for 12–15 minutes until edges are caramelized and center is set.
Step 6 — Optional finish and rest. Remove from oven, rest 1–2 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and have berries ready for garnish.
Step 7 — Plate and garnish. Loosen edges and slide the mini pancakes onto a warm plate. Top with berries, maple syrup, yogurt, and citrus zest as desired.
Step 8 — Serve and enjoy. Serve immediately while edges are crisp.

Notes
