Instructions
Mix dry and wet ingredients separately

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.
Rest the batter
3. Let the batter rest for *15 minutes* so the flour hydrates, then give it *one brief whisk* before cooking.
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*.
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*.
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.
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*.
Serve
8. Serve warm, finishing each pannekoek with *a simple sprinkle of granulated sugar*.
