"If you like thin russian style pancakes that melt in your mouth, here is the recipe. Beat 4 eggs with 1 tbsp of sugar, 1 tsp of salt and juice of half lemon. Then without stopping mixer add one liter of milk and sieve about 200 gr of flour. The dough must be liquid however if you feel that there is not flour add couple more tablespoons. It is very important to follow the order and once you have added flour DO NOT add milk after you have added flour otherwise pancakes will be rubbery. Now you can start frying pancakes. It is preferrable to use heavy-bottom frying pan but if you do not have one its OK to use just a normal one. Oil pan with a little bit of sunflour oil, then using a ladle pour a small amount of dough and spread it all over frying pan and fry on both sides until golden. "
