Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, lemon zest, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk two-thirds of the milk mixture into the flour mixture until no lumps remain, then slowly whisk in the remaining milk mixture until smooth.
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position.
- Melt butter in a 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the batter to the skillet, then immediately transfer to the oven and set the temperature to 375°F.
- Bake until the edges are deep golden brown and the center begins to brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to a wire rack and sprinkle the pancake with lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Gently transfer the pancake to a cutting board, cut into wedges, and serve.
Cinnamon Apple Topping (Optional)
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup water
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar (1 ¾ ounces)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ pounds Granny Smith apples (3 to 4 apples), peeled, cored, halved, and cut into ½-inch thick wedges (halved crosswise)
Directions:
- Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
- Add water, sugar, cinnamon, and salt, then whisk until the sugar dissolves.
- Add apples, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Uncover and continue cooking until apples are translucent and just tender, and the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes longer.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve. (The topping can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
