A skillet pancake is a wonderful addition to your breakfast meal rotation. It’s far lower in fat than pan-fried pancakes cooked in oil, and it still maintains a wonderful flavor! Pssst!!!…. It’s grain-free too!
Okay, so I have to say up front, that while this recipe is completely doable with 2 ingredients, I just could not leave well enough alone. So technically, this is a 4 ingredient pancake. But don’t stress out on me yet, it’s still a very simple recipe with ingredients you probably have in your kitchen. And yes, you can make still these with just two ingredients.
This is basically a dutch baby pancake, but made without any dry ingredients or flour mixture.
Make sure you have an oven-safe skillet, but don’t worry about turning the pancake during baking. This is a no-flip pancake!
Can I Cook Pancakes In A Cast Iron Skillet?
You can! Obviously, you have to make one pancake at a time. But for some, that’s the perfect way to make a pancake!
You’ll want to consider the side of your skillet, however. A 10-inch skillet will be too big unless you double or triple this recipe, As the recipe stands, it’s the perfect pancake for one person. So pick a small skillet, or increase the recipe. It’s up to you.
For multiple people, multiplying the recipe, cooking in a larger skillet and slicing it into wedges like a pizza is the best way to go.
Do You Put Butter On A Skillet For A Skillet Pancake?
You certainly can, if you prefer the flavor of butter. However, in most cases, it’s best to oil your pan with an oil sprayer for even coverage without overdoing the fat. But butter will work if that’s your preference.
Topping Ideas For A Skillet Pancake
You can put just about any pancake topping you like on this. Here are a few ideas.
- Any fresh fruit pieces or berries

- Chocolate chips
