Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
  • Strawberries for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and coarse salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.
  • In your oven-safe skillet, add the unsalted butter and place it in the preheated oven for about 2 minutes, or until melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully pour the batter over the melted butter.
  • Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and the center is set.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with fresh strawberries, if desired.

Equipment

  • Oven-safe Skillet
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Sifter
  • Spatula

Notes

  • Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Preheating the skillet is key for getting that puff!
  • Experiment with toppings like fresh fruits or whipped cream.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, as it will deflate as it cools.
