Ingredients:
500 ml milk
3 eggs
200 g flour
1 teaspoon sugar
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon oil or melted butter
Oil for frying
Instructions:
Preparing the Batter: In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the milk and gradually mix in the flour, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Finally, add the oil or butter and mix everything well until the batter becomes smooth.
Resting the Batter: Let the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes. This will help make the pancakes soft and elastic.
Frying the Pancakes: Heat a pan with a little oil over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan and spread it quickly in a circular motion. Fry the pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
Serving: You can fill the pancakes with jam, cream, chocolate spread, chopped fruit, or sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Serve while still warm.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes:
Use room temperature eggs and milk to make the batter more consistent.
For extra thin pancakes, add a bit more milk to the batter.
Allow the batter to rest so the gluten in the flour can soften, giving the pancakes a soft texture.
How to Get Crispy Edges on Pancakes? Add a little more oil to the pan and fry the pancakes on medium to high heat.
Can I Make Pancakes Ahead of Time? Yes! You can make the pancakes ahead of time and reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
