Notes
To make these eggless, you can replace eggs with flax seeds eggs. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed powder with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 10 minutes, and use it as a substitute for an egg.
Top with some toasted nuts or candied walnuts for extra crunch.
The consistency of the Mexican pancake batter should be like that of the classic pancakes. If it looks thick, then add some milk and if it looks thin, then add some flour.
Wipe the pan with paper tissues after making 3-4 pancakes to remove the burnt butter.
