Dutch Baby Pancake

"This puffs up ever-so-perfectly, and one bite will change your life!!" ~ claims Chrissy Teigen, author of my newest and now beloved cookbook, Cravings.
(serves 4)

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk, at room temp.
1/2 t. kosher salt
4 T. Kerrygold* butter, melted, plus more - softened for serving
Pancake syrup (Chrissy strongly suggests Mrs. Butterworth's)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Lemon zest*, for garnish

Preheat the oven to 475. In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, salt, and 2 T. of the melted butter, and blend until smooth with no lumps, 20-30 seconds. In a 10" cast-iron skillet, heat the remaining 2 T. melted butter over high heat until foamy. Add the batter and immediately put the skillet in the oven. Bake until the outside of the pancake is puffed and a deep golden color (it will puff up in a bit of a crazy, disorganized way, so don't worry), 17-18 mins. Remove from oven, slather with softened butter, and cut into quarters. Pour syrup over the pancake slices, dust with powdered sugar, and sprinkle with lemon zest, if desired. I would serve thick cut uncured smoked bacon with this*.
