Classic pancakes

Step-by-step recipe

Step 1:

In a bowl, beat the eggs, add sugar, and salt. Beat until smooth, then gradually whisk in the milk. These simple ingredients make perfect classic pancakes.

Step 2:

Sift the flour into the liquid mixture and whisk thoroughly until you have a smooth batter the consistency of sour cream. Don't rush—it's important to avoid any lumps.

Step 3:

Pour a little vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it over medium heat. The right temperature is the key to a golden brown crust without burning.

Step 4:

Spoon portions of batter into the pan. Fry the pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 5:

Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and fry the other side until cooked through. Place the finished pancakes on a plate.

Step 6:

Continue frying until the batter is used up, adding more oil as needed. This way, you can cook a whole batch in a short time.

Cooking tips

Let the dough sit for 15–20 minutes – the pancakes will become even more tender.

Don't make them too thick—classic pancakes should be moderately fluffy, but not dense.

Serve hot with jam, sour cream or honey – it’s the perfect accompaniment.

Your first pancake might not turn out right—that's okay! The second time, everything will go like clockwork.
