whole milk
1 1/4 cups (room temperature)

Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the beaten eggs, lemon juice, and whole milk.
2
Whisk the mixture until smooth and cohesive, ensuring there are no lumps. Allow the batter to rest for at least 15 minutes. This will help improve the texture of the pancakes.

Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface if necessary with butter or oil.
4
Ladle approximately one tablespoon of batter onto the hot pan, tilting it gently to form an even layer across the base.
5
Cook the pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm oven set at low heat to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
7
Once all pancakes are completed, stack them on a plate and serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of sugar.
