Thin pancakes are great for wrapping stuffing (cottage cheese, meat, ham and cheese). To bake them, you need to make a classic dough, the main ingredients of which are milk, fresh eggs and flour. By the way, it is best to cook pancakes from premium wheat flour. With the help of a step-by-step recipe, you can easily make an appetizing stack of very thin pancakes that can be eaten with a filling or just with butter.

How to cook Thin pancakes

Step 1

Start preparing the dough for thin pancakes. Mix eggs with half a glass of milk. Pour flour into the dough, stir to break up lumps. Add salt and sugar.

Step 2

Add the remaining milk to the dough, mix again, add water, continuing to beat the dough. When the mass becomes homogeneous, add vegetable oil and mix again.

Step 3

Melt a frying pan with vegetable oil. Pour the dough into the middle and spread it over the surface. Bake the pancakes for 30 seconds on each side.

Step 4

When all the pancakes are ready, serve them in a stack. If desired, each pancake can be greased with butter. Enjoy!

Thin pancakes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a dairy-free milk alternative in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute regular milk with almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version. Just ensure it's unsweetened to maintain the right balance of flavors.

How long can I store leftover pancakes, and what's the best way to reheat them?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or microwave for 20-30 seconds to retain softness.

Can I make these pancakes gluten-free?

Absolutely! Swap regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. For best results, use a 1:1 ratio blend and ensure it contains a binder like xanthan gum.

What are some creative serving suggestions for these pancakes?

Try them with Nutella and banana slices, savory fillings like ham and cheese, or a dollop of Greek yogurt and honey for a balanced treat.

How can I adjust the recipe to make fewer or more pancakes?

Simply halve or double all ingredients proportionally. Note that cooking time may vary slightly based on batch size and pan temperature.

Can I freeze these pancakes for later use?

Yes! Layer cooled pancakes between parchment paper, place in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before reheating.

Why do my pancakes stick to the pan even with oil?

Ensure your pan is well-heated before adding batter and use a non-stick skillet if possible. A thin, even layer of oil and properly mixed batter also helps prevent sticking.

Are these pancakes suitable for meal prep?

Definitely! Prepare a batch ahead, refrigerate or freeze them, and reheat as needed. They're versatile for both sweet and savory quick meals.

Can I make these pancakes without eggs for a vegan version?

Yes, replace each egg with 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, or use ¼ cup applesauce per egg. Adjust liquid ingredients if the batter seems too thick.
