2.5 cups of warm milk
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
2 tablespoons of melted butter

Slowly add the flour to the mix in parts, and keep mixing. Mix until there are no lumps left in the mixture.
Spread some butter on the pan. Add one quarter of a cup from the batter to the pan and spread it by moving the pan so its a nice thin circular shape.
Cook until one side is golden brown for about 30 seconds. Flip it and cook the other side the same amount. Repeat this until you use all the batter.
