Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 3 pieces eggs
  • 500 ml milk Use whole milk for richness; semi-skimmed works fine too. For dairy-free, substitute with a plant milk.
  • 250 grams all-purpose flour Sift if you want extra-light pancakes.
  • 100 grams melted butter Let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs.
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar Optional; you can substitute with 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1-2 tbsp caster sugar.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
  • Gradually add the flour and mix until smooth. Let the batter rest if necessary.
  • Stir in the melted butter and vanilla sugar if using.

Cooking

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Test the heat before pouring the batter.
  • Pour a ladle of batter onto the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface.
  • Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if necessary.

Notes

For extra-fluffy pancakes, whisk the egg whites separately and fold them into the batter. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
