Stevia is a low-calorie sweetener.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Melt 1/2 cube of butter in two glass pans in the oven.

Mix flour and salt together in a bowl until incorporated.

Add milk to the flour mixture and mix until smooth with no flour clumps.

For the thicker pancake, fold in the eggs gently without incorporating air.

For the thinner pancake, beat the eggs to incorporate air into the batter.

Pour the thicker batter into one pan and the thinner batter into the other pan.

Bake both in the oven until done.

Remove from the oven and serve with homemade lemon syrup, maple syrup, or fresh squeezed lemons with powdered sugar.
