Preparation
Step 1
Remove the eggs, butter, and milk from the refrigerator in advance - they should reach room temperature. Use small eggs and 2.5% fat milk. Choose high-quality unsalted butter without vegetable additives.
Step 2
Melt the butter in any convenient way (details below). I used a saucepan with a thick bottom on the stove. Let the melted butter cool slightly.
Step 3
Take a mixing bowl and crack in the eggs. Always wash eggs before using them, as even clean-looking shells can carry bacteria. Beat the eggs until smooth using a whisk, hand mixer, or blender.
Step 4
Pour about one-third of the milk into the eggs. Add sugar and salt to taste. Stir well. Add the cooled butter and mix again.
Step 5
Gradually add flour, sifting it through a fine sieve, and mix well after each addition to avoid lumps.
Step 6
Once all the flour is added, pour in the remaining milk. Mix until smooth. The batter should be of medium thickness - adjust with more or less flour if needed.
Step 7
Prepare a baking tray with high sides (about 12×8 inches / 30×20 cm). Line it with parchment paper, covering the sides as well. Pour the batter directly onto the paper - no need to grease it.
Step 8
Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes. The pancake will puff up significantly - that’s normal! It’s ready when golden brown on top. Remove from the oven; it will deflate slightly as it cools.
Step 9
Let it cool slightly, then peel off the paper. Cut into portions - I got four pieces. Serve with jam, berries, sour cream, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
