For a richer flavor, use melted brown butter instead of regular melted butter. Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. Serve immediately for the best puff.
A delightful and effortlessly elegant breakfast centerpiece, this oven pancake bakes to a magnificent golden puff. Infused with warm spices and a hint of almond, it’s a blank canvas for your favorite toppings and a guaranteed weekend treat.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a small bowl, stir together white sugar and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. (5 minutes)
Place butter in an 8-inch cake pan and melt in the preheated oven until melted. (3 to 5 minutes)
Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar evenly over the melted butter in the cake pan. (1 minute)
In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract together using an electric mixer until well combined. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter over the butter and brown sugar in the cake pan. Sprinkle the white and brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter. (10 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, rotating halfway through for even browning. (20 to 25 minutes)
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving with your favorite toppings.
