Classic Skillet Cake
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk, or as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for the perfect cooking temperature.
2
Melt butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet over low heat, allowing it to soften and become malleable.
3
Transfer half of the melted butter to a separate mixing bowl, reserving the remaining butter in the skillet for later use.
4
Add granulated sugar to the mixing bowl and blend it with the melted butter until a smooth, consistent mixture is achieved.
5
Mix in an egg to combine, beating it thoroughly with the sugar and butter mixture until everything is well incorporated.
6
Add flour to the mixing bowl, incorporating it fully into the sugar and butter mixture. Introduce vanilla for added flavor.
7
Gradually add milk, two tablespoons at a time, until the mixture reaches a pancake-like consistency. This will help create the perfect texture.
8
Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean.
10
Remove the cooked pancake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on the stovetop before serving.
