The Basic Recipe for Sweet and Savory Pancakes

Pancakes are a sweet or savory dish, depending on the type of ingredients you want to stuff them with. You can prepare them with eggs, flour, milk, butter and a pinch of salt, and you can cook them in a few minutes. Starting from the basic preparation that we will explain in this recipe, we can then stuff them as we like.

Ingredients
eggs: 6
type of flour 00: 500gr
milk: 1 liter
butter: 60gr
sea salt: a pinch
Preparation
To prepare the pancake mixture, put the eggs in a bowl, beat them and add the milk and a pinch of salt.
Sift the flour and add it to the mixture, add the melted and cooled butter and mix it all together, removing any lumps, until you get a homogeneous mixture. Let stand in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
To cook the pancakes, use a special pan of about 20 cm, put it on the fire with a little butter and pour the mixture into it, creating a thin and uniform round layer .
Wait one minute and if the layer of pancake in contact with the pan becomes golden/brown, then one side is cooked, so move on to cooking the other side (9).
Once cooked, the pancakes can be stuffed both hot and cold. There are those who fold them in half with the filling inside, those who fold them in four parts, and finally there are those who prefer to roll them up.
When I cook them but I don’t use them all at once, I leave them in the refrigerator (cooked pancakes keep for a maximum of two days, while raw dough keeps for a maximum of ten hours) and when I want to use them as an appetizer, I cut the pancakes into several long and thin strips as if they were already cooked tagliatelle, then I season them with tomato sauce or with cream and mushrooms The crepes are perfect as a single dish or as a starter, second course or dessert. It all depends on what you are going to use them for.
