Instructions

0 / 8 steps
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and water.

  3. 3

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until smooth.

  4. 4

    Stir in the melted butter. Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes (or up to an hour in the fridge).

  5. 5

    Heat a lightly oiled (with olive oil or butter) 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting it to coat the bottom evenly.

    Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with desired fillings (e.g., sugar, fruit, jam).
