Bring eggs to room temperature for about 1 hour.

Let milk sit in measuring container for 5-10 minutes to take the chill off.

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30-45 seconds and let it cool.

Measure 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour using a large measuring spoon and a knife to level it off.

Blend the eggs in a blender one at a time, ensuring no shells get in.

Add 1.5 cups of lukewarm milk to the blender.

Add 0.25 teaspoon of salt (or 3/4 teaspoon if using unsalted butter).

Blend the mixture for 1 minute.

Add the flour and melted butter to the blender and blend for 2 minutes.

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and lower the rack to just above the lowest level.

Place the greased pan in the oven for 2 minutes to heat it up.

Fill each cup of the pan with batter, coming close to the edge.

After 18 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for 10 minutes.
