Steps:
- Whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in a large bowl until combined. Add the flour, sugar and salt; whisk until the batter is smooth, with no lumps.
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with butter. Add 1/4 cup batter; swirl the skillet to coat the bottom with a thin layer of the batter. Cook until set on top and lightly browned around the edge, about 1 1/2 minutes. Gently lift and flip the pancake with a rubber spatula; cook until just browned on the other side, about 15 more seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter (do not brush the skillet with more butter). Fold into quarters and serve with butter and syrup or jam.

Steps:
- Beat together the eggs and sugar.
- Add the milk and salt, and then the flour, mixing until smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
- Butter a very hot skillet lightly.
- Laddle 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet, and tilt it around so the batter spreads out to make a 7 inch diameter pancake.
- The batter will firm up quickly.
- When the first side is brown, turn and brown the other side.
Tips:
- Use the right pan: A non-stick pan is essential for making thin pancakes. It will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking and tearing.
- Get the batter consistency right: The batter should be thin and pourable, but not too watery. If the batter is too thick, the pancakes will be thick and doughy. If the batter is too thin, the pancakes will be too thin and fragile.
- Heat the pan to the right temperature: The pan should be hot enough so that the pancakes cook evenly, but not so hot that they burn. A good way to test the temperature of the pan is to drop a few drops of water into it. If the water sizzles and evaporates immediately, the pan is hot enough.
- Pour the batter into the pan in a thin, even layer: This will help to ensure that the pancakes cook evenly.
- Cook the pancakes for a few minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown: Do not flip the pancakes too early, or they will tear.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect thin pancakes every time. These tips will help you to create light, fluffy pancakes that are perfect for any occasion. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
