Instructions
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a mixing bowl, whisk together the three whole eggs until well combined. Gradually add in the milk, continuing to whisk. Finally, sift in the all-purpose flour, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. |
| 2 | Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a drop of oil. Pour in a spoonful of batter (a ladle works well) for each pancake. Cook until the edges begin to lift from the skillet and the surface starts to bubble, which should take about a minute. Carefully flip the pancake to cook the other side until golden brown. |
| 3 | Once cooked, remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a plate. Spread a generous layer of manjar over the surface, then roll the pancake tightly to encase the sweet filling. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm and enjoy the rich, creamy sweetness of your panqueques! |
Tips for Perfect Panqueques
- Adjust the Thickness: If you prefer thicker pancakes, reduce the milk slightly; for thinner pancakes, increase the milk.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to add vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your panqueques drizzled with additional manjar, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a side of fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
