Violas are a simple breakfast option that originated in France as a type of crepe. They are similar to a pancake but thinner and more delicate in texture. Violas can be eaten on their own with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or they can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients such as fruit or ham and cheese. In Europe, they are commonly served with Nutella, jam, or whipped cream, making them a popular brunch item. This recipe is straightforward and easy to follow, making it a perfect weekend breakfast option for the whole family.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, sugar, and salt until smooth.
2.	Beat in the eggs until well combined.
3.	Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt a small pat of butter.
4.	Pour in enough batter to create a thin layer, swirling the pan to distribute the batter evenly.
5.	Cook until the edges start to turn golden brown and the top is set, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
6.	Repeat with the remaining batter.
7.	Top with powdered sugar and serve warm.

PROS

Quick and easy to make, these sweet crepe-like pancakes are perfect for breakfast.

They can be enjoyed plain, with powdered sugar or with various fillings such as fruit, Nutella, or whipped cream.

CONS

Violas are high in calories, carbs, and sugar, making them a treat that should be enjoyed in moderation.

Over-filling them with sugary toppings can make them even less healthy.
