Beat eggs, flour and salt in a food processor. If batter is too thick, add milk and if batter is too thin, add a little flour. Heat a non-stick frying pan and grease with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, using a brush. Depending on the size of the pan, spoon some batter and tilt in all directions to evenly distribute batter.
