Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Place a 12-cup muffin pan inside the oven to heat up.
  2. In a blender, add flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth, about one minute. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the hot muffin pan from the oven. Slice the cold butter into 12 chunks, placing one chunk in each muffin cup to melt.
  4. Pour about 1/3 cup of the rested batter into each muffin cup over the melted butter, taking care not to overfill.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the pancakes are puffed and golden brown.
  6. Remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the pancakes to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Top with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or jam.
