Pour in 80 g noisette butter

Step 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Then add 250 g flour.

Step 5 - ⌛ 3 min.

...until the batter is evenly mixed.

Your pancake batter is ready for use.

Remarks

If you do not have a blender, you can use a whisk.

You will find plenty of recipes that tell you to leave the batter to rest, but having tried both ways (resting / not resting), I have not found that it makes any difference.

A variation worth trying: replace half the flour with chestnut flour.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge covered with plastic film.
