Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, and 0.5 teaspoon salt until smooth. The batter should be thin, like heavy cream.
Step 2
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in about 1/4 cup batter, tilting the pan to spread it thinly. Cook until the edges look set and the bottom is golden, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Flip the pancake and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed, until you have 6-8 thin pancakes.
Step 4
Serve each pancake folded or rolled, topped with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh dill, and a spoonful of caviar if desired.
