Preparation
Step 1
I use 2% milk and medium-sized eggs. Sift the flour through a sieve in advance to aerate it.
Step 2
Use a deep mixing bowl to prevent splashes. Combine the eggs with sugar and salt in one bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with baking soda.
Step 3
Add milk to the eggs, then gradually stir in the flour and soda mixture, whisking until combined.
Step 4
Add 2-3 tablespoons (about 30-45 ml) of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the batter. Mix thoroughly until smooth and lump-free - you can use a mixer for this step.
Step 5
The batter should be quite runny - that’s exactly how it should be for thin pancakes. Let it rest for about 5 minutes. During this time, the vinegar reacts with the baking soda, creating bubbles.
Step 6
Preheat a pancake skillet over high heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil using a napkin or brush. The pan should be very hot. Quickly pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet and tilt to spread it thinly. These delicate pancakes cook very fast. Fry on both sides until golden brown.
Step 7
Stack the finished pancakes on a plate, covering them with a lid to keep them from drying out.
Step 8
The pancakes will have lots of tiny holes - perfect for dipping into sour cream, condensed milk, or jam, though they’re too delicate to fill.

Enjoy your meal!
