Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for greasing)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place your muffin tin in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
- In a blender or mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend or whisk until smooth and lump-free.
- Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and brush each cup generously with melted butter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
- Place the muffin tin back in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pancakes are puffed and golden.
- Remove the pancakes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes in the tin before transferring to a plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with syrup, or pile on fresh fruit. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Preheat the muffin tin for better puffing. Blend the batter for smoothness, and serve immediately for the best texture.
