Giant Fruity Oven Pancake Recipes

SHEET PAN PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Use 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to generously grease the bottom and sides of an 18-by-13-inch half-sheet pan.
• Into a blender, add the eggs, milk and vanilla. Next add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Blend until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Imagine the sheet pan in thirds, then sprinkle the chocolate chips in the first third, the blueberries in the second and the strawberries in the third, making 3 sections or stripes. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
• To serve, cut a square of the chosen flavor of pancake and top with some warm maple syrup.

Place in oven 2-3 minutes or until melted., Tilt pie plate to coat evenly with butter. Pour batter into hot plate. Bake 10-12 minutes or until sides are puffed and golden brown., Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine blueberries and banana. Remove pancake from oven. Top with fruit. Mix cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over top. Cut into wedges; serve immediately.

OVEN-BAKED BLUEBERRY PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in upper third. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or other nonstick ovenproof pan) in oven. Whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter in another bowl. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined.
• Remove skillet from oven and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, swirling to coat. Pour in batter and smooth top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle evenly with blueberries and remaining 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.

FLUFFY OVEN PANCAKE WITH PEARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, vanilla, eggs and 4 tablespoons of the butter in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until just combined. Fold in the cottage cheese with a rubber spatula. Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Arrange the pear wedges in the skillet in a pinwheel pattern, with the thin tips pointing out and the rounded ends meeting in the center. Cook to soften the pears slightly, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the brown sugar, cover and cook until the sugar starts to melt, about 2 minutes.
• Uncover the skillet and pour in the batter, starting at the outside edge and working in a circular pattern towards the center. (This will keep the pears in place.) Continue to cook on the stovetop until the butter starts to bubble up around the edges, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake, uncovered, until set and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Carefully invert the pancake onto a serving dish. Serve with pats of butter and maple syrup for topping.

• In a 10 to 12-inch (25 to 30-cm) heatproof frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the peaches or nectarines and cook, stirring often, until the fruit is hot and slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on ripeness. Remove from the heat and scatter with the berries.
• Pour the egg mixture over the fruit in the pan and immediately put in the oven. Bake until puffed and golden, about 18 minutes.
• Remove the pancake from the oven and sift confectioners' sugar over the top. Cut into wedges to serve. If desired, offer lemon wedges on the side.

GIANT SUPER FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray one small (8-inch) and one medium (10-inch) ovenproof nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray (or brush lightly with melted butter).
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla and egg yolks in a medium bowl until combined.
• Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a second large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's okay if there are a few lumps). Stir one-third of the egg white mixture into the flour-milk mixture. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined (take care not to overmix).
• Pour 3 cups of the batter into the small skillet and pour the remaining batter into the medium skillet. Cover each skillet with a lid (or cover and seal with aluminum foil). Bake, rotating the skillets top to bottom halfway through, until the pancakes are cooked through and the bottoms are golden, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Flip the larger pancake onto a serving platter and top with the smaller pancake. Pour a generous amount of syrup over the stack and top with whipped cream and berries. Serve with butter on the side.

GIANT SUNDAY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Whisk eggs, sugar and melted butter in medium bowl until blended. Add flour alternately with milk in 3 additions, whisking to blend after each addition. Whisk in baking powder and salt.
• Melt enough butter in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium heat just to coat bottom. Ladle scant 3/4 cup batter into skillet, rotating skillet to spread batter to about 6-inch-diameter round. Cook pancake until bubbles form on surface and bottom is brown, about 1 minute. Turn over pancake and cook until bottom is brown and pancake is cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer to large baking sheet. Place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter to form 5 more pancakes, adding more butter to skillet as necessary. Serve with syrup.
