Whether you serve them with powdered sugar, syrup, fresh fruit, or savory toppings – with this basic recipe, you will always make perfect, thin, and golden-brown pancakes. This recipe is ideal for breakfast, lunch, or simply as a treat in between meals.
Ingredients for approx. 12 pancakes
- 500 g flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 liter of milk
- 1 pinch of salt
- 30 g melted butter (plus extra for frying)
Preparation method
1. Making the batter
Put the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Break the eggs into the well and add the salt. Begin mixing slowly with a whisk and add the milk little by little, ensuring no lumps form. Stir until you have a smooth and airy batter. Finally, mix in the melted butter.
2. Letting the batter rest.
Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This ensures better binding and a lighter texture during baking.
3. Making pancakes
Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan and swirl the pan so that the batter spreads evenly. Cook the pancake for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, flip it over, and cook for another minute on the other side.
