Sift the flour with the baking powder, then add the salt and sugar. Stir to combine.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the fermented milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the liquid mixture along with the melted butter.
Gently mix with a spoon or spatula, do not whisk. The batter doesn't need to be completely smooth; it should remain thick with a few lumps.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, then lightly grease it with a little butter using a brush.
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the center of the pan. You can also use an ice cream scoop for more precise portions.
The batter will spread slightly. Gently smooth the surface with the back of the spoon, keeping a nice round shape.
Flip the pancake as soon as small bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to dry (about 1 to 2 minutes), as shown in the photo below. You can also refer to the video. Be careful ! Pancakes cook very quickly, so don’t wait for the top to dry completely before flipping.
Let the other side brown for another 1 to 2 minutes, then remove the pancake with a silicone spatula and place it on a plate.
Continue cooking the remaining batter the same way, adding a small knob of butter to the pan before each new batch.
For blueberry pancakes, simply add a few fresh or frozen blueberries directly to the batter just before cooking.
Serve your pancakes hot, generously drizzled with maple syrup and topped with a knob of butter... and enjoy every bite!
