Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place an oven-safe 9-10 inch skillet (cast iron works best) in the oven to heat up.
- 2
In a blender, combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar, and salt. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. The batter should be thin, similar to crepe batter.
- 3
Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the hot skillet. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl to melt and coat the bottom and sides.
- 4
Pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet. Immediately return the skillet to the oven.
- 5
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are dramatically puffed up, golden brown, and crispy, and the center is set.
- 6
Remove from the oven, dust generously with confectioners' sugar (if using), and serve immediately. It will deflate quickly once out of the oven.
