1. 1
   Crack the egg into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and just whisk lightly until combined — no need to whip it like a sponge cake batter.
   ▶ ≈0:28
2. 2
   Add the milk and cake flour, then mix well until the batter is completely lump-free.
   ▶ ≈0:57
3. 3
   Melt the butter in the pan, being careful not to let it burn.
   ▶ ≈1:27
4. 4
   Pour the batter into the pan and heat briefly, just until bubbles appear around the edges — don't cook it too long.
   ▶ ≈1:44
5. 5
   Place the pan into a preheated oven and bake. Preheating is key so the batter starts puffing up immediately. Baking time varies depending on your oven's height, so keep an eye on the browning.
   ▶ ≈1:50
6. 6
   Once baked, plate it however you like — top with icing sugar, fruit, honey, ice cream, or yogurt. Since the batter itself isn't sweetened, it works well as either a savory or sweet dish.
