Instructions
For The Pancakes:
Sift the flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, water, and vinegar together
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
Stir in the oil and mix well. The batter should have a smooth, creamy consistency. If too thick, add a little more water.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes. (The longer it rests, the better the batter becomes)
Heat a non-stick or lightly greased frying pan over medium heat.
Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the base evenly. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes as you go.
For the Milk Tart Filling:
In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk and 2 cups of the milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup of milk with the cornflour until smooth.
Once the milk mixture starts to simmer, add the cornflour mixture, stirring constantly.
When the mixture begins to thicken, whisk the egg yolks and slowly stir them into the custard.
Continue stirring, then add the salt, vanilla essence, and butter.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold them into the custard mixture.
Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool and thicken further.
To Assemble:
Spoon generous amounts of the milk tart filling onto each pancake.
Roll up the pancakes and place them on a serving plate.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve with a wedge of lemon or a drizzle of lemon juice.
