1. 1

   Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   Add the butter to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place it in the oven to melt and heat through.

3. 3

   Using an electric mixer on high speed, whisk the eggs in a large bowl until frothy, then gradually incorporate the milk and flour. Pour the finished batter into the hot skillet.

4. 4

   Return the skillet to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the batter puffs up dramatically like a soufflé. It will deflate once taken out of the oven. Finish with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
