Tilt the pan to get butter all over the bottom and sides of the pan.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs.

Add the milk and vanilla. Mix in the flour and salt until most of the lumps are gone.

Remove the pan from the oven and pour in the batter.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden on the edges and very puffy.
