Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 0.75 cup (180 ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch salt
Cooking Ingredient:
- 0.5 tablespoons (7.5 ml) butter
Instructions
- Sift flour and salt into a mixing vessel, ensuring a uniform texture without lumps.
- In a separate container, thoroughly whisk milk and eggs until completely integrated and smooth.
- Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring continuously to prevent clumping and create a silky, lump-free batter.
- Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, enabling flour to absorb liquid and develop a refined consistency.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium flame, lightly brushing surface with butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, quickly rotating to distribute evenly and create a delicate, paper-thin pancake.
- Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes until edges become golden and slightly crisp, indicating readiness to flip.
- Using a thin spatula, gently turn pancake and cook opposite side for an additional 30-45 seconds.
- Repeat process with remaining batter, stacking pancakes on a warm plate.
- Finish by sprinkling freshly squeezed lemon juice and a light dusting of granulated sugar, then elegantly fold or roll each pancake.
Notes
- Rest the batter for optimal smoothness, allowing flour to absorb liquid and gluten to relax, resulting in tender pancakes.
- Use a light touch when tilting the pan to create thin, delicate pancakes with even coverage.
- Adjust heat to medium-low for consistent golden color without burning, ensuring a perfect texture.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a blend of rice and almond flour to maintain similar consistency.
