Ingredients

• 125 grams all-purpose flour
• 300 milliliters milk
• 2 large eggs
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 10 grams sugar (optional, for sweet pancakes)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon (for greasing the pan) vegetable oil or butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the flour to remove lumps.

Step 2

Add the milk and eggs to the flour, whisking until smooth. Start in the center and gradually incorporate the flour to avoid clumps.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Add it to the batter along with the pinch of salt and sugar (if using). Mix well until smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

Cover the batter with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This helps the flour absorb the liquid for a smoother consistency.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil or butter using a brush or paper towel.

Step 6

Pour approximately 60 milliliters (about 1/4 cup) of batter into the center of the skillet. Immediately lift and tilt the pan in circular motions to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 7

Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula or your fingers, and cook the other side for an additional 30-60 seconds.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes with a sheet of parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Serve the thin pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruits, syrup, powdered sugar, jam, or savory fillings.
