A fun and delicious twist on breakfast! These aren’t your typical fluffy pancakes; they’re thin, soft, and sturdy, almost like a crepe. They are perfect for rolling up with your favorite sweet fillings and are surprisingly simple to make from scratch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (177g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ cups (550ml) milk
  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted & slightly cooled
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well-mixed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, and the egg. Whisk until the batter is smooth. It should be the consistency of heavy cream.
  3. Heat Pan: Place an 8 or 10-inch non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the Rolls: Pour ¼ cup of batter into the hot pan. Immediately lift and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges look dry and the bottom is golden brown.
  5. Flip and Finish: Flip the pancake and cook for 1 more minute on the other side. Slide it onto a plate.
  6. Fill and Roll: While the pancake is still warm, add your desired fillings, roll it up snugly, and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: These are fantastic with a simple spread of butter and a dusting of powdered sugar. They’re also delicious with Nutella, sliced fruit, jam, or a drizzle of maple syrup and whipped cream.
  • Tips & Tricks: The first pancake is always a test run—don’t worry if it’s not perfect! For an extra crispy roll, place the filled and rolled pancake back in the hot pan for 30-60 seconds, turning until the outside is lightly caramelized.
  • Storage & Reheating: Store leftover unfilled pancake rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a dry pan over medium heat for a minute per side. They also freeze wonderfully; just place a piece of parchment paper between each one.
