To make the pancake batter, place the eggs, flour and salt into a bowl and beat together with a whisk. Pour in the milk and whisk again until smooth.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in a ladle of pancake batter and cook for 1–2 minutes. Flip over and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Repeat to cook the second pancake.
