Add all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined. Melt some butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook the batter as you would regular pancakes, 2-3 minutes per side. The key is to cook on low heat until the pancakes are no longer glossy and they are barely golden.
Spread each pancake with your desired toppings (powdered sugar, syrup, jam, nutella).  Roll up and eat!
