Instructions

1

Whisk eggs with salt, sugar (if using), and half the milk.

Tip: Easier to remove lumps with less liquid initially.
2

Add flour, mix to thick smooth paste. Dilute with remaining milk and soda water. Stir in oil.

Tip: Oil in batter helps prevent sticking.
3

Rest batter at least 15 mins.

Tip: Critical! Flour hydrates, making dough elastic.
4

Heat pan. Brush thinly with oil.

Tip: Pan ready when water drops dance.
5

Ladle batter, swirl to coat thinly. Fry until edges brown and release, then flip.

Tip: Other side takes only 30s.
6

Spread with honey, sprinkle cinnamon, roll up.

Tip: Serve fresh and warm.

Recipe FAQ

Why does it tear?
Batter too runny (add flour), stuck (too little oil / cold pan), or didn't rest enough.
First one always fails.
It's a law. Pan needs to reach temp and oil coat pores.
