Equipment

  • 1 non-stick crepe/pancake pan

Ingredients

  • 4 egg
  • 300 grams all-purpose flour
  • 700 grams whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower (or canola) oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Mix the pancake's batter

  • In a large bowl mix the eggs, the sugar and the salt.
  • Add flour and milk. Mix well.
  • Add oil and mix.

Cook the pancakes

  • Heat a non-stick crepe/pancake pan over medium high heat. When it is hot, pour or scoop the batter onto the pan. Using approximately a little laden (1/2 cup) for each pancake. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface. This should be a very thin coat.
  • Cook 1 to 2 minutes until pancake begin to lift from pan. Loosen with a spatula. Turn and cook the other side 1 minute.
  • The pancake is done when both sides are a light brown.
  • Repeat with remaining batter. Scoop it onto the hot pan and cook both sides of pancake.

Fill the pancakes

  • Spread each pancake with filling and roll up.

Notes

My kids eat the pancakes with cacao powder-sugar mix, Nutella or apricot jam but my favorite is the pancake with sweet quark (cottage cheese) filling.
