Lattyja, also known as Finnish Crepes-Pancakes, is a popular dish in Finland that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Lattyja is similar to a French crepe or American pancake and is made from eggs, sugar, flour, milk, and butter. The crepes are thin and delicate, with a slightly sweet flavor. Traditionally, Lattyja is served with a variety of toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, and syrup. It's a versatile dish that can be customized to fit your taste preferences.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar and salt until light and frothy.
2.	Gradually add flour and whisk until smooth.
3.	Add the milk and melted butter. Whisk to combine into a batter.
4.	Heat a skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Melt a small amount of butter in it.
5.	Add a ladleful of batter onto the skillet, swirling to cover the entire pan evenly.
6.	Cook for about 30-45 seconds on one side or until golden brown, then flip the crepe and cook for another 15-30 seconds.
7.	Repeat the process, stacking the finished crepes on a plate.
