Ingredients
For the fruit:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
12 ounces fresh or frozen fruit (peeled peaches, apples, plums, or berries), strained of any juices
For the pancake batter:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1–1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Additional sugar for sprinkling
- Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare the fruit filling by melting the butter and sugar over medium-low heat on the stove. Stir together until the butter has melted. Add the cinnamon, salt, and fruit, tossing to combine. Pour into the deep 8” skillet or baking dish that you plan to bake your pancake in. Note: You’ll need about 1” depth to pour your pancake batter into. If you happen to be working with an extremely shallow skillet, feel free to remove a little bit of the sauce/fruit to make room for the pancake. Otherwise you may have an overflow in the oven.
- To prep the pancake, whisk together the butter, egg, buttermilk, vanilla, and sugar. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir just until combined. Some small lumps may remain. Immediately pour and spread on top of the fruit mixture. Sprinkle with the sugar if desired. Place the dish on a sheet pan (if it is close to overflowing) and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the pancake is puffed, golden, and the fruit is bubbling under the pancake. Allow to cool about 10 minutes prior to enjoying with a small drizzle of pancake syrup or fresh whipped cream.
Notes
- Baking time will differ depending on your pan. Be sure the fruit is bubbling below the surface before you remove from oven or your fruit filling may be soupy. Also, be sure to not overflow your pan. If your skillet isn’t deep enough, reserve some filling or pancake topping, or at least bake with a rimmed baking sheet beneath it to avoid a mess in the oven.
