Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 1/3 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 cup flour all-purpose
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, first lightly whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Then whisk in the flour, sugar, and salt until everything is smoothly combined.
  2. Start heating a medium sized skillet or non-stick pan over a medium heat.
  3. Lightly grease the pan with a light oil or butter.
  4. Once the pan is hot enough, use a spoon or small ladle to scoop out about 3 tablespoons worth of batter and gently pour it in the middle of the pan while simultaneously tilting the pan so the batter can evenly coat the bottom in a thin layer.
  5. Cook on each side about one or two minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  6. Serve them on a plate and lightly coat in a layer of your favorite butter or jam, and then top with some sliced fruit if desired.
