Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 2 large Eggs Add richness to the batter.
  • 1 cup Whole milk Provides a smooth, creamy texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter For frying and adding flavor.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick pan and melt a small amount of butter.
  2. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin layer.
  3. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy at the edges.
Serving
  1. Add your favorite toppings, roll or fold, and serve.

Notes

For the best texture, let the batter rest. The first pancake might not turn out perfect; consider it a chef's snack.
