| 1 pinch | salt |

Instructions
Fluffy Batter:
To avoid small lumps of flour, don't mix all the ingredients at once. Instead, first combine the flour and milk, then add the eggs and salt. Stir everything into a smooth batter.
Tip: For a fluffy batter, you can add a splash of sparkling water at the end – the carbonation creates small bubbles when cooking.
Golden Brown Cooking:
The perfect pancake is achieved over medium heat. You can even use butter, which is usually sensitive, for cooking: it browns slowly and gives the pancake a light caramel flavor.
Tip: When it comes to equipment, it's advisable to use a non-stick pan and only use kitchen utensils with a silicone coating. This way, nothing sticks, and you can even save on fat. Let the pancake turn golden brown undisturbed, and flip it after about 2-3 minutes.
Special Ingredients:
The basic pancake batter can, of course, be refined according to taste. For a savory version, you can add various spices like pepper, herb salt, or even chili to the batter and sprinkle hearty cheese on top while it's cooking. For sweet moments, add some cinnamon, vanilla sugar, apples, strawberries, or cocoa powder.
Tip: If you want to try the slightly thicker American pancakes, add a teaspoon of baking powder to the batter and cook smaller portions of batter in the pan without fat.
And the best thing about homemade pancakes: Everyone can decorate them as they please with various extras, ensuring all hungry foodies get their fill. To your pans, ready, set, go!
