Basic Pancakes

Ingredients

  • •1 cup (150g) all-purpose flour
  • •1 cup (240ml) milk
  • •2 eggs
  • •1 egg yolk
  • •1 tbsp (14ml) vegetable oil
  • •1.5 tbsp (25g) sugar

Directions

  1. Whisk together flour, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and vegetable oil. Gradually whisk in the milk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

  2. Cover and let the batter rest 5–10 minutes.

  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a little oil or butter.

  4. Pour in a ladle of batter and tilt the pan to coat the bottom in a thin layer. Cook 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the underside is golden; flip and cook about 30 seconds more.

  5. Repeat with the remaining batter. Stack finished crêpes under a clean tea towel if you want to keep them warm.
