Method
1. Place the flours and sugar into a large mixing bowl and whisk using a balloon whisk to combine. Add the eggs and half of the milk, whisk together and add the remaining milk to form a smooth pouring batter.
2. Place the vegetable oil onto a paper towel and rub over the simmering plate. Using a teaspoon, drop the mixture from the end of the spoon onto the simmering plate. Once bubbles appear turn them over with a palate knife and cook for a few more minutes.
