Ingredients
For the Pancake Dough:
180g soft flour (cake flour)
2 large eggs
200g milk
30g sugar
2g salt
30g cooking oil
3g baking powder
For the Custard Cream:
3 egg yolks
300g milk
60g sugar
20g corn starch
Instructions
- Make the Custard Cream:
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale.
- Heat the milk in a saucepan until it simmers. Gradually pour the hot milk into the yolk mixture while whisking continuously.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to cool.
- Make the Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, salt, and milk until well combined.
- Sift in the cake flour and baking powder, whisking until smooth.
- Add the cooking oil and mix until incorporated.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
- Pour small amounts of batter onto the pan (2-3 tablespoons per pancake) and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes per side).
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Assemble the Pancakes:
- Spread a spoonful of cooled custard cream on one pancake, then place another pancake on top. Serve immediately.
