Preheat oven to 425℉.

Place pats of butter in a 13X9 inch oven safe casserole dish.

Place the dish in the oven until butter has melted and pan is hot.

While butter is melting in the oven, prepare the batter. Place eggs, milk, vanilla, salt and flour in a blender and whip until light and frothy.

Scrape down any flour that might stick to the sides of the blender and make sure it is fully incorporated into the batter and there are no lumps.

Remove hot casserole dish from the oven and pour the egg batter over the melted butter in the hot pan.

Return pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges get puffy, turn a rich golden brown, and the center sets up. 

To serve, dust each serving with powdered sugar and top with sliced strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Or add a dollop of fruit preserves and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a less sweet, fresh flavor profile. Or get really fancy and add some whipped cream and chopped nuts on top.
