Ingredients  

For a 9x13" pan:

  • ¾ stick butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp vanilla (optional)

For a 10x15" pan:

  • 1 ¼ sticks butter
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 9 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp vanilla (optional)

Instructions: 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°.
  • Slice the butter in the pan and melt it in the preheating oven.
  • While the butter is melting, in a mixing bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, flour, and vanilla.
  • When the butter is bubbling, remove the pan from the oven and pour the batter into the bubbling butter.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes:

It's safest to put the pan in the oven 25 minutes before breakfast, especially at preps. The convention-sized pans have an effect on the cooking time too - it works best to only cook 1 convention-sized pan in a commercial oven.
Make Ahead: It's very quick to whip the batter up, but you can easily prepare the batter the night before, cover with plastic wrap, then just give it a stir in the morning before pouring it into the hot butter to bake.
