Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). And place a 10 inch oven proof skillet in the oven as it preheats. To make the batter, in a jug of a blender, combine milk with eggs, flour, lemon zest, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt.

Blend for 20 seconds, stop and scrape the sides of the jug with a spatula, then blend again for 10 more seconds.

Remove the skillet from the oven, and place on a trivet. Add the butter to the hot skillet, and let it melt. Using a pastry brush, brush the butter on the sides of the skillet too. Pour the pancake batter in the center of the hot skillet, then return to the oven.
