Steps

  1. Combine the milk, eggs, and water.
  2. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Gradually whisk the wet mixture into the dry mixture until you get a thin batter similar to crêpe batter. If it feels too thick, add some additional water.
  4. Cover the batter and let rest for 30–60 minutes.
  5. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Grease the pan with a small amount of canola oil, swirling the pan to coat the entire surface.
  7. Scoop or pour a small amount of batter into the pan. Immediately tilt the pan in all directions to coat the whole surface with a thin film of batter.
  8. Cook the pancake for about 1 minute. Then, carefully raise the edge with a spatula, flip it over, and cook for another minute. The pancake should be faintly browned on both sides.
  9. Remove the pancake and set aside.
  10. Repeat the greasing and frying process until all the batter is used up.
  11. Serve hot.
