Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Maple syrup and extra butter for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously grease a 12×17-inch rimmed baking sheet with butter or non-stick cooking spray. For even easier removal, line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides, and grease the paper as well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no large clumps of flour, as this ensures a consistent rise across the entire sheet pan.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. The melted butter adds a rich flavor and helps create those coveted golden edges.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or a whisk to fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine and actually contribute to a fluffier texture.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared sheet pan. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly into the corners. Scatter the blueberries and sliced strawberries across the top of the batter. You can arrange them in a pattern or toss them on randomly for a rustic look.
- Place the pan in the center rack of the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and the top is a light golden brown. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Slice the giant pancake into 8 large rectangles (or smaller squares if feeding children). Serve warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a pat of butter.
