How to make a magnificent omelet in a pan:

8. Mix all this again well - until nothing is whipped.
9. Add flour.
10. Beat the contents of the bowl with a mixer or whisk - you should have a homogeneous mixture.
11. Pour it all into the middle of the pan, on which the butter has already melted and warmed up.
12. Spread the mass evenly throughout the pan.
13. If the heating is uneven and the lower part has already been baked and ready to burn, and the upper part has not yet begun, tilt the pan from side to side, slightly raising the contents with a spatula.
14. When the whole mass thickens, the omelet is ready.

Important! Before pouring the contents of the bowl, the walls of the pan must also be oiled.
