Method

Pre-heat oven to 200C. Move the oven shelves to make room for your pan so it can be in the middle. Allow the pan to preheat for at least 10 mins once the oven is at temperature.

In a blender, or using an electric hand blender, blend the eggs for 1-2 mins or until frothy. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter while the motor is running to incorporate well, then pour in the milk and allow to blend for 30 seconds.

With the motor still running, slowly add the flour, cornflour, salt and pepper and finally the herbs and blend for 1 min.

Remove the preheated frying pan from the oven and add the remaining butter. Swirl to coat the pan evenly. Pour the batter into the pan and place in the oven to cook for 10-15 mins.

Remove and add your toppings and serve at the table to cut and share.
