3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries, lemon wedges, maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Blend eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Place butter in a 9–10-inch oven-safe skillet or dish and melt in the oven (2–3 minutes).
Swirl melted butter to coat the pan, then pour in the batter.
Bake for 18–22 minutes until puffed and golden.
