Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and position a rack in the middle.
Butter an 8-9 inch round or oval baking dish or skillet to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually add flour and salt while whisking until smooth.
Wash and slice the strawberries, placing them evenly in the prepared dish. Pour batter over strawberries.
Bake for 1 hour until puffed and golden brown with a slightly wobbly center.
Remove from oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Using a ceramic or glass dish ensures even baking. Allow eggs to reach room temperature for a smoother batter. Watch for browning edges and cover if necessary. Store leftovers covered with plastic wrap in the fridge or freezer.
