Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1⁄4 cups milk
• 6  tablespoons sugar

Directions

1. 1. Heat oven to 425°. Grease a 9″ cast-iron skillet or baking dish with butter; set aside. Combine milk, sugar, kirsch, vanilla, eggs, and salt in a blender. Blend for a few seconds to mix ingredients, then add flour and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
