Turn on Oven to 450 degrees, cut butter into 1 tablespoon chunks and place into pan. Put pan into oven so butter can melt.
With your handmixer whip your eggs. Whip one egg at a time, adding each one as the last is whipped.
Once the eggs are whipped, add the flour, milk, salt and vanilla and mix into the eggs.
Pour the batter into the melted butter. Return to the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The goal is for the batter to become puffy and rise a bit over the pan. That's what makes this so fun! The puffiness will fall a bit after a minute or so.
Serve with maple syrup, powder sugar, jam, honey or fresh fruit.
