Here’s the recipe my family uses. Some other recipes call for adding some sugar to the batter, my family doesn’t bother since we usually coat in in powdered sugar or maple syrup anyway once it’s done.

It’s super easy to make too.

Preheat your oven to 475F.

Put in your blender: 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup flour, 4 eggs, 2 Tb. melted butter, a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth (check with a spatula to make sure all the flour is incorporated).

Melt 2 more Tb. Butter in a cast iron skillet. Pour in the batter from the blender and stick it in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. The top should be puffed up and browned.

Slather with more butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, fruit, etc.
