Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Melt the butter in a pie plate in the oven. Brush butter on the sides of the plate. Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl. Beat in remaining ingredients, except lemon juice and powdered sugar, until just mixed. Don’t over mix! Pour into pie plate. Bake 25 – 30 minutes or until puffy and deep golden brown. Serve immediately sprinkled with lemon juice and powdered sugar.

For the Apple Puffy Oven Pancake Variation: Prepare the Puffy Oven Pancake as directed, except sprinkle 2 T. brown sugar and 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon evenly over melted butter in pie plate. Arrange 1 c. thinly sliced and peeled baking apples (1 medium apple) over sugar. Pour batter over apples. Bake 30 – 35 minutes.
