Step by step recipe

Put into a blender goblet: 6 eggs, 2.1 oz oil, 2.1 oz caster sugar, 1 lb + 1.6 oz milk, 2 tablespoons rum and 1 pinch salt.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Pour in 2.8 oz Noisette butter

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Then add 13.7 oz flour.

Note: it is important to begin by pouring in the liquids to avoid forcing the blender motor.

Stage 4
Pancake batter
Mix on medium speed...

Stage 5 - 3 min.
Pancake batter
...until the batter is evenly mixed.

Stage 6
Pancake batter
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.
