Every day has its charm, but there’s something extra special about Friday nights. For many, they mark the beginning of the weekend—a moment to relax, unwind, and maybe indulge a little.
To celebrate, I sometimes treat myself to something I usually skip during the week—without a trace of guilt. One of my favorite go-to comfort foods is Serbian-style pancakes. These delicious, versatile treats can be filled with either sweet toppings like Nutella and fruit or savory ones like ham, cheese, and sour cream.
They’re easy to make and take about 30 minutes from start to finish, including mixing the batter and frying. Here’s the recipe that works best for me:
Pancake Batter Recipe
- 200 grams of flour
- 0.2 dl of milk
- 0.3 dl of sparkling water
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Mix all the ingredients until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
Use a wide pan to make each pancake roughly the size of a large plate. Pour just enough batter to coat the pan evenly so the pancakes stay thin and soft. Once one side is cooked, flip it and fry the other side for about a minute—and you’re done!
Serve warm with your favorite sweet or savory fillings—totally up to your taste.
Enjoy, and happy Friday! 🍽✨
