Necessary ingredients (for 4 servings)

- 3 large eggs
- 200 g flour
- 600 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons oil
- A pinch of salt
- Jam (preferably sour cherry, quince, or plum)
- Raspberry topping (optional, for an extra flavor)

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes

Step by step - making pancakes

1. Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the pancakes. Using a whisk or mixer, beat the eggs until frothy, which will help achieve fluffy pancakes.

2. Add the wet ingredients: In the same bowl, add the 2 tablespoons of oil and 600 ml of milk. Continue to mix, ensuring everything is well combined.

3. Incorporate the flour: Gradually sprinkle 200 g of flour into the egg and milk mixture. It is important to mix constantly to avoid lumps. You can use a mixer on low speed or a whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and fluid.

4. Heat the pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. In my pan, there's no need for extra oil, but in your case, you can add a little oil or butter if you're unsure about the non-stick quality of your pan.

5. Cook the pancakes: Use a ladle to pour the batter into the pan. By tilting the pan, ensure the batter spreads evenly across the surface. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom becomes golden.

6. Flip the pancake: Using a spatula, flip the pancake to the other side and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat this process for each pancake, placing them on a plate as they are ready.

7. Fill and roll: Once all the pancakes are cooked, spread jam on each pancake. You can use your favorite jam, whether it’s sour cherry, quince, or plum. Carefully rolling them prepares a delight that will bring joy with every bite.

8. Serving: For a more elegant look, you can add a raspberry topping on top of the rolled pancakes. This detail will not only add a splash of color but will also bring a note of freshness to the dish.

Practical tips for a perfect result

- Temperature control: It is essential to maintain a medium temperature for the pan. If the pan is too hot, the pancakes can burn on the outside and remain raw on the inside.
- Consistency of the batter: The batter should be fluid but not too thin. Adding flour or milk depending on the desired consistency is a common practice in cooking.
- Variations of the recipe: You can experiment with adding flavors like vanilla or lemon zest to the batter. These will give the pancakes a personalized touch.
