Preparation
Step 1
You can use milk of any fat content. Take the milk and eggs out of the refrigerator in advance so they reach room temperature. Sift the flour through a sieve once or twice to aerate it.
Step 2
To make the batter, use a deep bowl to avoid splashes while mixing. Crack the eggs into the bowl and add sugar and salt. You can adjust the amount of sugar to taste. Beat with a whisk.
Step 3
To control the batter’s thickness, first pour half the milk and half the water into the bowl. Stir until smooth and lump-free. Add vegetable oil and mix again. This helps the flour blend easily with the liquid base, creating a smooth batter. The remaining liquid will be added later (in step 5).
Step 4
Add all the sifted flour and mix until the batter is uniform and smooth - you can use a mixer to remove any lumps.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the remaining milk and water in parts. You may need slightly more or less liquid - adjust according to the desired consistency. Thicker batter makes thicker pancakes; for thin, delicate ones, keep the batter light and runny.
Step 6
Before frying the first pancake, grease the pan with a bit of vegetable oil. Heat the pan over medium heat. Pour a ladle of batter into the center and quickly tilt the pan to spread it evenly. Cook over medium (or low) heat for about 1-1.5 minutes until the edges turn golden. Gently lift with a spatula and flip. Cook the second side for 30-40 seconds.
Step 7
Stack the finished pancakes on top of each other and cover with a lid to keep them soft. The pancakes come out thin, tender, and beautifully golden. Serve with berries, sour cream, or condensed milk. Enjoy!
