Ingredients for classic pancakes
- 4 eggs

- 100 ml milk
- Pinch of salt
- Oil or butter
- Optional: vanilla extract
Sift the flour, sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. If you're feeling fancy, add a splash of vanilla.
Preheat your crêpe pan over medium heat and brush with oil or butter.
For each pancake, pour a soup ladle of batter into the pan and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and fry the other side until golden brown.
Tips for the best pancakes
- Ensure your pancake pan is well-heated before starting - this is the key to a beautifully golden look.
- Don't overmix your batter; a few lumps will keep your pancakes fluffy.
- If the batter seems too thick, you can thin it with a little additional milk for the desired consistency.
- For uniform pancakes, use a measuring cup or ladle to portion out the batter.
- Instead of milk, you can use oat milk.
