Dutch Baby Pancakes

- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, to taste
Preparation
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the cast iron in the oven to get it hot.
- Pulse together the flour, sugar and salt in a blender of food processor. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and melted butter, and blend the batter until smooth and frothy, 30 to 45 seconds.
