Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

 * 3 large eggs

 * 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

 * 1/3 cup milk

 * 1 tablespoon sugar

 * 1/4 teaspoon salt

 * 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

 * Powdered sugar, for dusting

 * Optional toppings: Fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream

Instructions:

 * Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

 * Heat butter: Place an oven-proof skillet (cast iron works well) in the oven to preheat.

 * Combine ingredients: In a blender or bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

 * Bake: Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and swirl to coat. Pour the batter into the hot skillet.

 * Serve: Immediately invert the skillet onto a large plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Tips:

 * For a richer flavor: Use heavy cream instead of milk.

 * Add flavor: Stir in 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

 * Get creative with toppings: Try adding lemon juice and zest, fruit preserves, or a dollop of whipped cream.
