Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups milk or half and half (my grandmother says original was half and half)
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt, my grandmother's addition (optional)
  • 3 eggs (sometimes my grandmother uses up to 5 eggs)
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Mix everything in a blender.

  • Step 2: **You make these like a crepe but cook both sides. I'm not very good at it so my directions may not be right on -- I'm writing this from past observation -- I use a crepe maker and only cook one side.**.

  • Step 3: Fill a large pot halfway with water and set to simmer. Place a heat proof plate on top of the pot -- You can stack the pancakes on it to keep them warm as you're making more.

  • Step 4: Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease it lightly with butter.

  • Step 5: Pour a small amount of batter (tablespoon or 2) in the center of the skillet and tilt it in a circular pattern so that it coats the whole bottom in a very thin layer, like a crepe.

  • Step 6: Cook it until solid and flip it over. It should be lightly browned on each side. Stack them on the warmed plate.

  • Step 7: To serve them you fold them into thirds and put toppings over them. Or you can fill them like a crepe. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I wish I had the knack for making them.
