A light and airy oven-baked pancake infused with fresh lemon zest and blueberry jam, featuring a crispy edge and a custard-like interior, perfect for a bright and flavorful breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons salted butter (divided)

4 large eggs (room temperature)

2/3 cup whole milk (room temperature)

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2–3 teaspoons lemon zest

2–3 tablespoons blueberry jam

1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a 10–12 inch cast-iron skillet inside to heat.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, milk, flour, salt, vanilla extract, and melted butter; blend until smooth.
  3. Stir in lemon zest and blueberry jam gently to create a marbled effect without fully mixing.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add 2 tablespoons of butter, and melt over medium heat.
  5. Add blueberries and cook for 2–3 minutes until butter browns slightly and berries start to pop.
  6. Pour the prepared batter over the sautéed blueberries in the skillet.
  7. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden; avoid opening the oven door during baking.
  8. Remove from oven and serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes or in a skillet over low heat.
  • To maintain puffiness, do not open the oven door while baking.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used directly without thawing.
  • Cast-iron skillet is preferred but any oven-safe skillet works.
  • For gluten-free, substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • For dairy-free, use dairy-free butter and milk alternatives.
  • Variations include adding cinnamon or nutmeg, or using different berries.
