How to make the pancake batter?

I always prepare my pancake batter at the last minute, with 4 children at home, exit the rest time and I'm a mom not very organized in the kitchen, so it's always the feeling.

But they are still as successful and delicious.

1. I prepare a large bowl, in which I pour the flour, the pinch of salt, the sugar and the bag of vanilla sugar.
2. I form a well in the center to add the eggs.
3. With a hand whisk, I gently mix the eggs first and then gradually incorporate the dry ingredients.
4. With one hand, I pour the milk in the center and with the other hand I continue to mix gradually (to have the least lumps in the dough, do not incorporate the milk too quickly into the dry ingredients).
5. After adding all the milk, I then get a smooth and homogeneous paste, to the texture of a liquid cream. (If the dough is too liquid, I add a little flour and if it is too thick, I add milk).
6. I finish by incorporating the melted butter.
7. At this stage you have the choice to let your pancake batter sit for 1 hour or if you don't have time you can cook them immediately.
8. I use a pancake pan, (but I'm thinking of investing in an electrical appliance to make mini pancakes and that will also be useful for other preparations like pancakes, blinis, raclette etc...)
9. I grease my pan with a little butter, and I pour a little ladle of dough into the hot pan.
10. The cooking time, about 1 to 2 minutes per face, I just like them cooked still very white.

I keep the pancake batter for up to 24 hours in my fridge and once cooked, they stay good for about 1 day.
