🛒 Ingredients

16 servings

16
  • 450 g (3 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 150 g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 250 ml (1 cup) milk or water
  • 1 egg
  • Neutral oil for cooking
  • 50 g (¼ cup) sugar for dusting
  • Ground cinnamon, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and milk for about 1 minute until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Gradually add the flour, stirring continuously to prevent lumps, until you get a smooth, slightly thick batter. Let rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat with a small drizzle of oil, wiping off any excess with a paper towel.

  4. 4

    Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan and cook until the edges start to lift naturally from the surface.

  5. 5

    Flip the pancake and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with remaining batter.

  7. 7

    Dust generously with sugar and ground cinnamon before serving. Best enjoyed warm.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Stack the pancakes and wrap in a clean towel to keep them soft while you cook the rest.
