Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, and beaten egg. Mix well until the batter is smooth.

- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
- Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a pancake, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.
