Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 30 grams sugar
- 300 ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 50 grams butter (melted)
- 3 grams salt

Method
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.
- Gradually add the milk and egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
- Fold in the melted butter, ensuring the batter is smooth and without lumps.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a bit of butter.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 50 ml for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges are golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
- Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

- For a slightly crispier edge, cook the pancakes in a mixture of butter and a bit of vegetable oil.
- Warm the maple syrup slightly in a saucepan for a more luxurious drizzle.
