- Whisk the milk and oil together in a jug, then add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
- Place the flour in a bowl and gradually add the liquid mixture, starting with a small amount to form a smooth paste. Continue adding the remaining liquid bit by bit until you have a thin, smooth batter.
- Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over a medium heat.
- Add one ladle of batter to the pan and quickly swirl or use the back of a spoon to spread it into a thin, even layer.
- Cook until the edges begin to lift and the surface starts to bubble, then flip and cook the other side until lightly golden.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil if needed. Then stack and cover to keep warm.
