Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 25 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 piece Lemon (for serving)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for serving)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Sift the all-purpose flour and pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl to remove lumps.
Make a well in the center of the flour, and crack the eggs into the well.
Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
Stir the melted butter into the batter and set it aside to rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel to ensure a thin layer.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan and swirl it around to evenly coat the surface.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the underside turns golden. Flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for about 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm, and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm. Sprinkle granulated sugar over each pancake and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. Roll or fold the pancakes as desired before eating.
