Stevia is a low-calorie sweetener.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Slice 5 tablespoons of butter and place it at the bottom of a 9 by 13 baking pan.

Put the baking pan in the oven to melt the butter while it preheats.

In a blender, combine 6 eggs, 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of milk, a dash of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

Blend the ingredients for a few seconds until well combined.

Pour the blended batter over the melted butter in the baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for around 22 to 27 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Check on the pancakes as they puff up and become golden brown on the edges and a little in the center.

Dust the pancakes with powdered sugar and serve with syrup and optional lemon juice.

Cut and serve the pancakes directly from the pan, optionally with fresh berries.
