Instructions

  1. Mix dry and wet ingredients separately

    1. In a mixing bowl, *whisk together the all-purpose flour and table salt*; in a second bowl, *beat the large eggs with the whole milk* until smooth.

  2. Make the batter

    2. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture while whisking to make *a thin, pourable batter*, then whisk in *the melted unsalted butter* until no dry flour remains.

  3. Rest the batter

    3. Let the batter rest for *15 minutes* so the flour hydrates, then give it *one brief whisk* before cooking.

  4. Heat and coat the skillet

    4. Heat the large skillet over *medium heat* and melt a small amount of the skillet-coating butter until it *lightly coats the surface*.

  5. Pour and swirl the batter

    5. Add about *80 ml or 1/3 cup batter* to the skillet, immediately tilting and swirling to form *one large, thin pancake*.

  6. Cook and flip the first side

    6. Cook for *1 to 2 minutes*, until the top looks mostly set and the edges are *lightly golden*, then flip with a thin spatula.

  7. Finish cooking the pancakes

    7. Cook the second side for *30 to 60 seconds*, just until set, then transfer to a plate and repeat with *the remaining batter and butter*.

  8. Serve

    8. Serve warm, finishing each pannekoek with *a simple sprinkle of granulated sugar*.
