Instructions

Step 1. Measure out ingredients and place in a mixing bowl. (For a gluten-free option, we recommend using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free flour.)

Step 2. Mix all ingredients to form a smooth batter, adding the milk gradually until the desired consistency is reached. (If using gluten-free flour, add an additional 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of milk to keep the batter light and easy to pour.)

Step 3. Heat up 1 teaspoon of oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for about two minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Adjust the heat if needed to prevent burning.

Serving Suggestions

  • Enjoy warm with maple syrup, honey, or powdered sugar.
  • Top with fresh fruit like berries, bananas, or apples for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • For a Romanian touch, serve with sour cherry preserves or plum jam.

Tips & Variations

  • Extra fluffy: Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to hydrate.
  • Savory option: Reduce sugar and serve pancakes with cheese or sour cream.
  • Make ahead: Cook, cool, and freeze pancakes in a single layer; reheat in the toaster or oven when ready.
