Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and salt until slightly pale.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing well to avoid lumps.
- Mix in the sifted flour, then the melted butter, and let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in a small ladle of batter and swirl it to get a very thin layer.
- Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the edges lift, then flip the alivenci and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Spread each pancake with jam or cream, roll it up and serve immediately.
Variations and tips
With cheese. Add a handful of crumbled brânză to the filling instead of jam.
Savory version. Leave out the sugar and fill with sour cream and fresh herbs.
