Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup flour
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, more for cooking
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting.
Preparation
Step 1
1. Separate eggs, and beat yolks in a medium bowl with sugar and salt. Add milk and flour alternately, stirring gently after each addition, to form a thin, smooth batter. Stir in melted butter. (Batter can be covered and refrigerated at this point for up to a day.)
2. Beat egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Gently stir them into batter; do not worry about fully incorporating them.
3. Heat a cast iron or nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat; when a drop of water skips across it before evaporating, it's ready. Melt some butter in pan, and, using a tablespoon, scoop up a bit of batter and put it in pan. Cook as many pancakes at once as will fit comfortably, turning them when they are brown. Total cooking time is less than 5 minutes per pancake.
4. Serve immediately, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
