Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Begin by sifting the all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl to remove any clumps.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, salt, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture gradually, stirring with a whisk to form a smooth batter. Aim for the consistency of heavy cream to ensure an evenly cooked pannenkoek.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the flour to properly absorb the liquids, resulting in a better texture.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or a pannenkoeken pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, just enough to lightly coat the base.

Step 6

Pour approximately 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the pan. Quickly tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter out to form an even, round pancake.

Step 7

Cook for about 2 minutes on the first side, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully flip the pannenkoek with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until it is set and golden.

Step 9

Transfer to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm while you continue cooking the remaining batter. Add a bit more butter to the pan as needed for each new pancake.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of toppings, such as powdered sugar, syrup, fresh fruit, or savory options like cheese and ham.
