Combine 1 cup wheat flour, 1 cup corn flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl and whisk together.

Add 8 ounces (1 cup) of milk, 0.2 ounces of vanilla, and 5 ounces of melted butter to the dry ingredients.

Add a dash of nutmeg to the mixture.

Crack in 2 eggs and whisk everything together until well combined.

Preheat a skillet to medium heat while mixing the ingredients.

If the batter is too thick, add water gradually until it reaches a thin consistency similar to cake batter.

Use a ladle to pour the batter onto the skillet, looking for bubbles and steam as indicators.

Cook each side for about 2 minutes, adding butter as needed while cooking.
