Ingredients
-
3 large eggs
-
3 cups buttermilk
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
-
2⅔ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven. Heat the oven to 500°F.
-
Prepare the baking sheet. Generously grease a rimmed 13 × 18-inch baking sheet with butter. Alternatively, line it with parchment paper and grease the paper.
-
Mix the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey.
-
Mix the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Combine the batter. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
-
Spread the batter. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula.
-
Add the toppings. Sprinkle your chosen toppings over the batter. Let everyone customize a section for a fun family breakfast.
-
Bake. Place the pan in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 400°F. Bake for 15–16 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and just beginning to turn golden. Check that the center is cooked through.
-
Slice and serve. Cut into squares using a knife or pizza cutter. Serve with maple syrup, raspberry sauce, honey, or chocolate drizzle.
Notes
-
Don’t overmix: A few small lumps in the batter are fine. Overmixing can make the pancake dense.
-
Spread evenly: An even layer helps the pancake bake consistently from edge to center.
-
Choose toppings strategically: Use small pieces and avoid adding too many wet toppings, which can make the pancake soggy.
-
Watch the bake: Oven temperatures vary, so check for a set center and lightly golden edges before removing the pan.
