🛒 Ingredients

10 servings

10
  • 1 cup (120 g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the whole wheat flour, milk, egg, salt, and oil to a blender or mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Blend or whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the batter is completely smooth and lump-free.

  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a few drops of oil.

  4. 4

    Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the skillet and tilt to spread it evenly into a thin round.

  5. 5

    Cook until the edges are set and golden, then flip and cook the other side until lightly browned.

  6. 6

    Fill with your favorite toppings — Nutella and banana, cream cheese with herbs, or ham and cheese all work great.

💡 Chef's Tip

Let the batter rest for 15 minutes before cooking for fluffier results. Swap cow's milk for any plant-based milk to make this recipe dairy-free.
