• 2 tablespoons rapeseed oil

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Yields: 15 pancakes

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender.
2. Mix gently until smooth and lump-free.
3. Heat a skillet over high heat.
4. Lightly grease with butter if needed.
5. Pour a thin layer of batter and swirl to coat the pan.
6. Cook for 45 seconds until edges brown lightly.
7. Flip with a spatula.
8. Cook the other side for 20 seconds.
9. Slide onto a plate. Repeat.

Results

These pancakes are incredibly soft and light—no butter in the batter keeps them healthier. My family devours them with powdered sugar and honey, but try lemon-honey or savory fillings like cheese or eggs.

Pro tip: A quality crepe maker prevents sticking without added fat.

Storage

Refrigerate pancakes for several days, or freeze stacked between waxed paper. Uncooked batter keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Pro Tips

• Doubles easily for 24-30 pancakes.
• First few may not be perfect—practice makes pros, as my grandmother always said.
• No blender? Whisk by hand vigorously.
• Fresh eggs yield the best texture.
