Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 4 (approximately 12 pancakes)

Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups of flour
- 2 cups of milk
- 6 tablespoons of oil (plus extra oil for frying)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ vial of rum essence
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- Mineral water or soda (to taste)

Step 1: Preparing the pancake batter

Start by cracking the 3 eggs into a large bowl. Use a whisk to beat them lightly until they are well combined. Add the 2 cups of flour and the 2 cups of milk, whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. It's important that the batter is smooth, so make sure there are no unincorporated flour particles.

Step 2: Adding aromatic ingredients

Once the batter is smooth, add the 2 tablespoons of sugar, the packets of vanilla sugar, the ½ vial of rum essence, and the 1 teaspoon of salt. These ingredients will give your pancakes a delicious flavor. Also add the 6 tablespoons of oil, mixing again until well combined. Finally, it's important to let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step will help the batter thicken and make the pancakes fluffier.

Step 3: Adjusting the batter consistency

After 30 minutes, take the batter out of the refrigerator. If you notice it's too thick, you can add a little mineral water or soda until it reaches the desired consistency. The batter should be fluid but not overly liquid, so you can easily pour the pancakes into the pan.

Step 4: Frying the pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Use a cup to pour oil into the pan, then take 3 tablespoons of oil from the pan and put it back into the cup. This will be enough to fry the pancakes without sticking. Use a ladle to pour batter into the pan, ensuring it's not too thick so you can easily flip the pancakes.

Fry the pancakes for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they turn golden. After frying, remove them to a plate and continue with the rest of the batter. Depending on the size of the pan, you should get about 12 pancakes.

Step 5: Assembling the pancakes

Now comes the most delicious part! Take a pancake and spread a generous teaspoon of Finetti, your favorite chocolate spread, on it. Fold the pancake into quarters and repeat the process with the remaining pancakes. Arrange them nicely on a plate and top with whipped cream, followed by your favorite topping, whether it’s melted chocolate, fruit sauce, or a dusting of cocoa.

Helpful tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
- You can add various flavors to the batter, such as cinnamon or lemon zest, for a special taste.
- If you prefer thinner pancakes, you can reduce the amount of flour.
