Skillet Pancake
At Anea Café in Tokyo, we tasted a pancake that was a deep-golden, saucer-sized, inch-thick disk resembling skillet cornbread. Toppings included whipped cream, ice cream and butter, along with a generous drizzle of syrup. We were unsure of whether we were enjoying breakfast or dessert, but were smitten with the crispy exterior that contrasted the cakey interior and rich, buttery flavor. This recipe is our attempt to re-create that pancake. A combination of rice and all-purpose flours delivers a delicately crisp crust and gives the crumb a pleasant chew without weighing down its texture. If you like, garnish with fresh berries. You will need an oven-safe 10-inch skillet for this recipe; cast iron is a good option, but keep in mind that its weight may make inverting the pancake a little tricky.

Servings
Don’t use eggs and milk straight from the refrigerator. These ingredients should be room temperature before making the batter. If they’re cold, they will cause the butter to solidify into globules.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, lemon juice, melted butter and vanilla. Gently whisk the egg mixture into the dry ingredients just until evenly moistened and the mixture forms a lumpy batter.
