Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked German Pancake

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter inside to melt.
Blend the batter by pouring 4 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth and lump-free.
Carefully remove the hot baking pan from the oven once the butter is melted and pour the batter over the butter evenly.
Bake for 22-27 minutes, watching for the edges to turn golden brown and the center to puff up.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar and serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, or other toppings of your choice.
