Ingredients

  • 4 cups wheat flour
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 standard eggs
  • 2 tsp fine salt
  • A few drops of food coloring (desired color; optional)

Directions

1

Combine all the ingredients in a blender , and blend until you get a well-combined batter. Over-blending will produce excess foam.

2

Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.

3

Transfer the batter to a squeeze-bottle with a nozzle (see notes).

4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

5

If necessary, use a paper towel to lightly grease the pan with some oil.

6

Shaping the pancake Use the squeeze bottle to drizzle batter over the surface of the pan in a swirling, lacy pattern.

7

Let the pancake cook just until dry—avoid excessive coloration.

8

Remove from the pan, transfer to a plate, and roll or fold up.

9

Repeat the cooking process until you have used up all the batter.

10

Serve warm.
