  1. 1

    Combine all the ingredients with a mixer until you get a smooth batter without lumps. Place the bowl, covered with aluminum foil, in a warm place for about an hour, and allow the batter to rise.

  2. 2

    Choose a good Teflon frying pan. The frying pan must be cold. Oil very lightly, you can use a spray, place on a high flame and pour in a ladleful of the batter.

  3. 3

    When the batter begins to bubble (after a minute or a minute and a half), turn the frying pan over onto a dry towel.

  4. 4

    Keep the lechuch in a pile, back-to-back, face-to-face. Cool the bottom of the frying pan with tap water, and put back on the stove.
