Basic pancake recipe

This is one of my favorite pancake recipes. The pancakes are very delicate and thin, which can make it difficult to flip them. But if you fry the pancakes on a special pancake pan, you'll be fine. I recommend to cook!

Pistachio pancakes

I love pistachios in desserts (although salted with beer is fine too). Pistachio eclairs, pistachio tarts, etc. - it's all insanely delicious! In the midst of Pancake Day, it was the pistachio pancakes that made me crave them. The author of the recipe is chef Philippe Andrieu of the pastry house Ladurée. Philippe Andrieu suggests serving these pancakes with cherry filling, but I served them with pistachio custard for the full pistachio delight. Experiment!"
