Breakfast/Snack

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Whisk in the lukewarm milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt until smooth.

  2. 2

    Gradually sift the flour into the wet ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. The batter should be very thin, resembling the consistency of heavy cream. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small pat of butter or a paper towel dipped in oil.

  4. 4

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan, immediately tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.

  5. 5

    Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges look dry and the bottom is lightly golden. Gently flip with a thin spatula.

  6. 6

    Cook for another 30-60 seconds on the second side. Transfer to a warm plate and repeat. Serve warm with sour cream, jam, or caviar.
