Crêpes de la Chandeleur (Candlemas Pancakes)

Step 1: Break eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat with a wire whisk.

Step 2: Measure flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into another bowl and stir to combine. Add gradually to egg mixture.

Step 3: Add milk gradually, continuing to stir with the wire whisk. The batter should be smooth, with no lumps.

Step 4: Pour oil into an 8-inch skillet to cover the bottom. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5: Using a soup ladle, carefully pour a ladleful (about ¼ cup) of the batter into the hot oil. Tilt the pan carefully to spread the batter into a large, thin crêpe that covers the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6: Cook until the crêpe is golden brown on the bottom (about 3 to 4 minutes).

Step 7: Carefully flip the crêpe over to cook the other side. Remove crêpe from pan, and blot on paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 8: Serve with maple syrup.
