German Pancake

I love having breakfast together as a family on a Sunday morning.  The problem is~ my kids LOVE their sleep!! One way to get them to get up is the aroma of a nice breakfast.  The smell of bacon and a sweet pancake.  This pancake puffs up beautifully, but it does deflate when it comes out of the hot oven. This picture is right as I was sprinkling with the powdered sugar.  It is even more delicious when topped with some fresh berries.

6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt 
2 tsp vanilla
2. TBSP butter
Confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 400.  Whisk together eggs, milk, flour ,sugar ,salt and vanilla in a large bowl.  Melt the butter in a 10 inch cast iron pan over medium heat.   Turn off the heat. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. With pot holders, carefully transfer the hot skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until pancake is golden and puffed.  Sift confectioners sugar over top of pancake and serve immediately.
