Ingredients
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 250 ml Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter (for frying)
- 1 L Beef or vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, and salt. Whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
Step 3
Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, just enough to cover the surface. Swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Step 4
Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
Step 5
Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, roll each pancake tightly and slice into thin strips about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) wide.
Step 6
In a large pot, heat the broth over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Adjust salt and seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 7
Divide the pancake strips among serving bowls and pour the hot broth over them.
Step 8
Garnish each bowl with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of ground black pepper, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, comforting soup.
