Put butter in pan and set into a 425º preheated oven.
While butter melts, mix together your batter quickly...
Using a stand mixer or a wire whisk and a large bowl, beat eggs until light and lemony in color.
Mix or whisk in milk, then slowly add in flour. (Do not over mix.)
Remove pan from oven and pour batter into hot melted butter.
Return to oven and bake until puffy and well browned (about 20 to 25 minutes).
Dust with ground nutmeg and powdered sugar if desired and serve with fresh berries or a dollop of jam.
