The oven pancake that climbs the skillet walls like a soufflé with showmanship — blender batter, screaming pan, lemon and sugar avalanche.

Prep checklist
Eggs — room temperature
Milk — warm
3 steps
Method
1
Blend eggs, flour, milk, sugar, and vanilla 30 seconds; rest 10 minutes while the skillet heats empty at 220°C.
12 min — timer available in cooking mode
Why this works
Room-temperature batter + furnace-hot pan = the dramatic climb. Cold batter sits there, embarrassed.
2
Butter into the hot skillet (it browns instantly), batter straight after, door closed 18–20 minutes — NO peeking; it's inflating on steam.
19 min — timer available in cooking mode
3
It emerges towering and collapses within the minute — that's the show. Lemon squeezed over, powdered-sugar blizzard, eat from the pan.

Chef's notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Best fresh; components keep 2 days refrigerated.
Freezing
Most breakfast bakes freeze well for 2 months; assembled plates don't.
Reheating
A low oven (150°C, 8–10 minutes) revives baked things; a nonstick pan over medium-low beats the microwave for anything with a crisp edge.
Make ahead
Prep components the night before — batters rest happily overnight in the fridge, and toppings can be portioned into jars.
Wine pairing
Coffee or fresh juice — it's breakfast.
Beer pairing
It's breakfast — coffee. But a mimosa never hurt a weekend.
