Crack 6 eggs into a measuring cup and pour them into a mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs in the bowl.

Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Blend the egg, milk, flour, and salt mixture until smooth.

Check the butter in the oven; it should be melted and bubbling.

Return the pan to the oven and bake until puffed and golden (exact time not specified).

While the pancake is baking, prepare homemade whipping cream by adding 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to a mixing bowl.

Whip the cream on medium speed until it reaches soft peaks, then add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix briefly.
