- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add in eggs and vanilla extract; gradually stir in milk and water until smooth. Let batter rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of unsalted butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat evenly. Cook until edges lift (1-2 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown.
