Method

Beat the egg (for two servings, use one whole egg) with the sugar, pour in the milk¹, and stir.
Add the flour in several additions, whisking until no lumps remain. Melt the butter⁴, stir 2 g into the batter, and mix. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with the remaining butter⁴, using a brush or paper towel.
Pour in a little batter (about 2 tablespoons) and quickly swirl it into a thin layer. Cook for 1 minute until pale golden, flip, and cook for another 30 seconds. Do not brown.
Stack the crêpes, cover, and let cool until warm. Cut into strips or roll up.
Serve with sour⁶ cream or applesauce.

Tips

Why it works: Let the batter stand for 15 minutes: the flour absorbs the milk and the gluten relaxes, so the pancake comes out thin, doesn't tear and flips easily. The oil in the batter keeps the pancakes from sticking.
Substitutions: Swap the sour cream for 20 g of plain yogurt. You can use half oat flour in place of half the wheat flour, and the pancakes will be slightly denser.
Common mistakes: The first pancake often fails because the pan is cold. The pan is ready when the batter sets at the edges at once and bubbles appear. If a pancake tears, add 1 spoonful of flour.
Storing and reheating: Keep stacked in a container or wrap in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat for 15–20 seconds in the microwave and let cool. You can freeze them for 1 month, with paper between them.
Serve with: Serve warm for breakfast with sour cream or applesauce. For your toddler, cut into strips or roll into a tube.

In short

A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 18 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
