Instructions
Start out by preheating your oven to 425°F (215°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet (half sheet size, or 18x13") with parchment paper and grease with the first 1 tablespoon of butter.
As the oven is preheating, combine all dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt) in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Then, combine wet ingredients (eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and 5 tablespoon portion of melted butter) in a large measuring cup or jug and mix together. Once mixed, whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. (*See note).
Once the mixture is well-combined, transfer the batter to your prepared baking sheet and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the sheet pan on the center of the middle rack in your oven and bake for 5-7 minutes. At the 5 minute mark, use a finger to check if the center of the pancake is springy to the touch.
If the pancake is springy to the touch, remove it from the oven and switch the oven to broil. Brush your baked pancake with the remaining 2 tablespoon of butter (carefully) and place it under the broiler.
Rotate the sheet pan and watch the pancakes closely until golden. Then remove from the oven, cut, and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not over-mix the pancake batter! If the batter is over mixed, you’ll have dense, tough pancakes. You just want to mix until you see the dry spots gone from the batter.
Forgot to take your eggs out ahead of time? To quickly bring them to room temperature, place the eggs in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes prior to using. Warm the eggs only enough to take off the chill – you don’t want them to be hot!
Score the pancakes before cutting into pieces! I like to score the pancakes into an even grid before cutting all the way through to ensure I have even pieces.
If your broiler heats unevenly, rotate the sheetpan pancakes while browning. While you’re watching the pancake brown, turn the pancake every minute or so to ensure the top of the pancake is evenly golden brown.
