1

Whisk together 250 grams of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl.

2

Add 585 milliliters of milk and 2 large eggs to a separate bowl and whisk until combined.

3

Make a well in the flour mixture and gradually pour in the milk and egg mixture, stirring with a whisk.

4

Add 1 tablespoon of melted butter and mix until the batter is smooth, resembling the thickness of heavy whipping cream.

5

Cover the batter and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator.

6

Heat a non-stick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until a splash of water sizzles in it.

7

Brush the skillet lightly with 1 to 2 tablespoons of avocado oil.

8

Whisk the batter again to ensure it's smooth before pouring a third of a cup into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom.

9

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the underside is brown, then flip and cook for another minute or two until browned on both sides.

10

Place the cooked pancake on a foil-lined plate to cool flat and keep warm under foil while cooking remaining pancakes.

11

Spread a thin layer of jam or Nutella on each pancake, roll them up, and top with powdered sugar before serving.
