Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • ¼ tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F with a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside. Blend the eggs, flour, milk, vanilla, sugar, and salt until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Carefully remove the hot skillet. Add the butter and swirl until melted, then pour the batter into the center.
  3. Bake without opening the oven for 22 to 25 minutes, until deeply golden and puffed.
  4. Top with powdered sugar or fruit and serve immediately while hot and crisp.

Notes

The batter can be blended a couple of hours ahead and kept at room temperature, but a cold batter may reduce the rise slightly. Let the empty skillet heat in the oven for a full 15 minutes before adding the butter. No matter what, don’t open the oven while it bakes.
