In a blender, crack 6 eggs and add 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed.

Pour the batter into the hot pan with melted butter.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes until puffed and golden.

Remove from the oven and serve with syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
