👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Make the batter
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and water until smooth.

Add:
Salt
Sugar (if using)
Vanilla (optional)
Oil
Mix until the batter is thin and smooth (like light cream).
Step 2: Rest the batter

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan and swirl quickly to spread thin.
Cook:
1–2 minutes on first side
30–60 seconds on second side
Repeat until all batter is used.
Step 4: Stack and keep soft
Place cooked pancakes on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft.
