Ingredients

2 cups milk , I use 2%
4 large eggs
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter , melted and slightly cooled
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour , sifted, if desired
1 lemon , zested and juiced

For topping: Lemon juice, Sugar, Lemon curd, Mascarpone or Whipped cream

Instructions

In a blender, blend 2 cups milk, 4 eggs, 3 Tablespoons melted butter, 1 Tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 cups flour, and zest and juice of one for 15 to 20 seconds, or until batter is smooth. Chill at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
Spray nonstick cooking spray onto an 8-inch frying pan. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan and cook over medium-low heat. Turn pan immediately from side to side to form an even circle. Cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Remove from heat and stack on a plate.
Serve with your favorite toppings. My two favorite ways are to top with fresh lemon juice and sugar or add lemon curd and whipped cream to the center before folding.
