Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 3 eggs, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth. The batter should be thin, like heavy cream.
Step 2
Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tbsp of the 2 tbsp butter and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 3
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting to spread it evenly into a thin circle. Cook until the edges look dry and the bottom is golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side until lightly spotted with brown, about 1 minute. Slide onto a plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
Step 5
Fold each pancake into quarters or roll them up. Dust generously with the 2 tbsp powdered sugar and serve with the 1/4 cup jam or syrup on the side.
