2. Whisk the eggs with the remaining milk, salt, and 20 g melted butter.
3. Combine the flour with the yeast mixture and the egg mixture, then beat until a smooth, pourable batter forms.
4. Cover and let the batter rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.
5. Stir the batter down. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
6. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, swirl to spread thinly, and cook until the edges set and the underside is golden.
7. Flip and cook the other side briefly. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with oil as needed.
