Ingredients
- 8 ounces All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
- 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (approximately 40 g)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 17 fluid ounces Warm Milk (about 500 ml, whole milk warmed)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted, about 40 g)

Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl. Stir briefly to distribute the sugar and salt evenly.
Time: PT3M
Create a Well and Add Eggs
Make a small well in the center of the dry mixture and crack the three eggs into it. Begin whisking gently to incorporate the eggs.
Time: PT2M
Add Half of the Warm Milk
Gradually pour about half of the warm milk (≈250 ml) into the bowl while whisking continuously. This prevents lumps from forming.

Finish the Batter
Pour in the remaining milk, then add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth, glossy, and free of floury lumps.

Heat the Skillet
Place the 9‑inch non‑stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up. No extra oil is needed because the butter is already in the batter.
Time: PT2M

Cook the First Side
Pour a thin layer of batter—just under a full ladle—into the center of the skillet, swirling to spread evenly. Cook until the surface looks matte and the edges start to lift.
Time: PT1M
Temperature: 350°F
Flip and Finish
Using a spatula, flip the pancake and cook the other side for about 30 seconds, then remove from the pan.
Time: PT30S
Temperature: 350°F
Repeat for Remaining Batter
Repeat steps 6‑7 with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to keep a steady cooking temperature.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: 350°F
