Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- Canola oil
Directions
Batter
- Combine the milk, eggs, and water.
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Gradually whisk the wet mixture into the dry mixture until you get a thin batter similar to crêpe batter. If it feels too thick, add some additional water.
- Cover the batter and let rest for 30–60 minutes.
Cooking
- Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.
- Grease the pan with a small amount of canola oil, swirling the pan to coat the entire surface.
- Scoop or pour a small amount of batter into the pan. Immediately tilt the pan in all directions to coat the whole surface with a thin film of batter.
- Cook the pancake for about 1 minute. Then, carefully raise the edge with a spatula, flip it over, and cook for another minute. The pancake should be faintly browned on both sides.
- Remove the pancake and set aside.
- Repeat the greasing and frying process until all the batter is used up.
- Serve hot.
