Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place a 10 inch skillet or other oven safe pan into oven to heat. A pie tin or casserole dish also work in a pinch. 2. Beat the eggs until smooth 3. Add milk, flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon and continue to beat until the batter appears creamy and smooth. 4. Remove the warmed skillet from the oven, and melt the butter in the pan to coat it. 5. Pour batter into the pan and return to oven 6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. It should be golden brown and puff out considerably. 7. Remove and serve hot. The puffed center will immediately fall once out of the oven. It can be cut into wedges and served like a pie. Sprinkle confection sugar on top. Squeeze lemon wedges directly over the pancake before eating.
