Ingredients (for approximately 12 large pancakes):

• 250g all-purpose flour (T45 or T55)
• 500 ml lukewarm semi-skimmed milk
• 60g caster sugar
• 80 g melted butter
• 1 pinch of salt
• 3 large eggs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough:
   In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs one by one, whisking gently to incorporate them. Gradually pour in the lukewarm milk while continuing to whisk to avoid lumps.
2. Add the butter and flavoring:
   Once the dough is smooth, add the melted butter and the flavoring of your choice (vanilla, orange blossom water or rum). Whisk until the batter is well combined and smooth. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the texture to improve.
3. Cook the pancakes:
   Heat a non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan and swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on one side, then flip the pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
