Step 01 of 08

Melt the butter

50 g

Put butter (melted) (50 g) in a small pot and heat on low until liquid. Set aside to cool — hot butter will scramble the eggs.

Step 02 of 08

Mix the dry ingredients

250 g

2 łyżka

1 łyżka

1 łyżeczka

In a large bowl combine wheat flour (250 g), sugar (2 łyżka), baking powder (1 łyżka) and salt (1 łyżeczka). Mixing dry first ensures the baking powder spreads evenly through the flour.

Step 03 of 08

Mix the wet ingredients

300 ml

2 szt

50 g

In a second bowl crack eggs (2 szt), pour in milk (300 ml) and the cooled butter (melted) (50 g). Whisk with a fork until combined.

Step 04 of 08

Combine

Pour the wet into the dry. Stir with a spoon just until the dry flour pockets disappear. The batter should look lumpy — that's correct.

Tip

Don't overmix. More mixing means more gluten, which makes the pancakes rubbery instead of fluffy.

Step 05 of 08

Rest the batter

Leave the batter for 10 minutes. The flour hydrates and the baking powder activates — the pancakes will rise taller.

Step 06 of 08

Heat the pan

20 g

Put a 24 cm cm pan on medium heat. Add a piece of butter for frying (20 g) — when it sizzles but doesn't yet brown, the pan is ready.

Tip

Too hot and the top burns before the middle sets. Too cold and the pancakes soak up grease and stay pale.

Step 07 of 08

Fry the pancakes

Ladle the batter — about half a ladle per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top, burst and don't close back up — about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side another 1-2 minutes until golden. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more butter between batches.

Step 08 of 08

Serve

100 ml

Stack the pancakes on a plate. Pour maple syrup (100 ml) over them right before serving.

Bon appétit

How did it turn out?

Enjoy — now it's a matter of patience and a good table.
