Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for frying)
- optional Toppings (e.g., powdered sugar, syrup, cheese, or fruits)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax—this step ensures a smoother texture.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and add a small amount of unsalted butter, letting it melt and coat the pan evenly.
Ladle a small amount of batter (about 1/3 cup) onto the pan, swirling it around quickly to create a thin, even layer.
Cook the pannekoeken for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and the bottom is golden.
Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.
Transfer the pannekoeken to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as powdered sugar, syrup, fresh fruit, or savory options like cheese and ham.
