Step-by-Step Instruction
- Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the sugar and salt until well combined.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the milk and water, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the flour, stirring quickly to prevent lumps and create a smooth batter.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the surface.
- Test the Temperature: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the batter – a drop should sizzle gently.
- Pour the Batter: Using a ladle, pour a small amount of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread evenly.
- Cook Until Bubbly: Wait until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to dry.
- Flip the Pancake: Once the underside is a beautiful golden brown, carefully flip the pancake with a spatula.
- Finish Cooking: Let the other side cook until it achieves the same golden tone.
- Repeat the Process: Continue with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
- Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes in a warm oven if needed to keep them warm until serving.
- Experiment with Cooking Time: If the pancakes are too pale or too dark, adjust the cooking time or heat accordingly.
- Test for Doneness: Lift the pancake slightly with a spatula to check the color before flipping.
- Stack Pancakes: Stack the pancakes on a serving plate as they are finished.
- Serve Hot: Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
- Enjoy the Aroma: Breathe in the rich scent as they cook, enhancing the anticipation.
- Storage: Leftovers can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
- Reheating: To reheat, microwave for a few seconds or warm in a low oven.
- Watch the Texture: Ensure the pancakes are not overcooked to retain their light texture.
- Garnish: Add a garnish of fresh berries for a pop of color and taste.
