Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters milk
- 3 eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Sift the flour into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Add the salt, and whisk until you achieve a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour about half of the batter into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly to create a thin pancake layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom sets and starts to turn golden brown.
Using a spatula, tear the pancake into irregular, bite-sized pieces while it’s still in the skillet. Continue to cook, tossing and stirring the scraps, for another 2-3 minutes until they are crispy and slightly browned on the edges.
Remove the pancake scrapings from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Once all the pancake pieces are cooked, garnish them with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or snack.
