Step 1 of 4

Blend it and leave it

Put the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar and salt in a blender or a bowl and blitz or whisk until completely smooth. Cover and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes.

— The rest is not optional. Unrested batter tears in the pan because the flour has not taken up the liquid yet, and it is full of air bubbles that burst into holes.
