Whisk the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and black pepper until you have a smooth pourable batter.
Finely chop the scallions, parsley, and dill and add them to the batter.
Heat the pan over medium heat with half of the butter.
Spread half of the batter into the pan and cook for 4 minutes, until the bottom browns.
Turn the cooked batter with a spatula and cook the other side for 3 minutes.
Cook the second kaygana with the remaining butter and batter, then slice and serve hot or warm.
💡 Tip: If you do not want it to feel heavy beside cornbread, add only finely chopped leaves and scallions to the batter, not chard stems.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the kaygana and serve it like a Black Sea breakfast plate with tulum cheese, tomatoes, and strong tea if desired.
