Mix the eggs with sugar and salt and beat them manually using a fork or a whisk. Now pour in room temperature milk (300 ml) and mix everything together
2
Sift the flour and gradually add it to the liquid, constantly stirring with a fork or a whisk. Melt the butter, add a bit of milk to it, and mix. Combine it with the main mixture and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture might appear uneven at first, so it might take some time to achieve consistency. You should have a moderately thick batter: after pouring it onto the skillet, there should be a little mixture left in the ladle, and it should flow onto the pan gradually
3
Heat the skillet or pan well and grease it: it’s important not to pour excess vegetable oil onto the surface to avoid weighing down the pancakes
4
Fry the pancakes over low heat on both sides: the finished and cooled pancake can be served as a standalone dish, but we recommend trying the hot serving option: with a fried egg and cheddar cheese. The dish is ready!
