Make the pancakes:
Make the batter:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, flour and vegetable oil until smooth.
Cook the pancakes:
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Pour a ladle of pancake batter into the pan and swirl it to coat the bottom evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Repeat with the remaining batter to make several pancakes. Reserve.
