Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 1 as needed Oil or butter (for cooking)
• 1 as needed Filling of choice (such as jam, Nutella, or sweetened cottage cheese)
• 1 as needed Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until fully blended.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 4

Once the batter is smooth, stir in the melted butter. The consistency should be thin and runny, similar to heavy cream.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter, using a paper towel to spread it evenly.

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it quickly in a circular motion to spread the batter and form a thin, even layer.

Step 7

Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip it gently with a spatula and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 9

Once all the pancakes are cooked, add your desired filling to the center of each pancake. Spread the filling evenly, then roll or fold the pancake into a cylindrical or triangular shape.

Step 10

Dust the pancakes with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
