Indulge in the sophistication of French cuisine with our Crêpes recipe!
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Non-stick skillet or crêpe pan
- Ladle or measuring cup
- Spreader tool (crêpe rake) or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 eggs large
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Additional butter for greasing the skillet
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, melted butter. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth, thin mix.
- Let the mix rest for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavour.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour a small amount of mix onto the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
- Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
- Repeat until all the mix is used, stacking the Crêpes as you go.
- Serve warm with your favorite fillings, such as Nutella, fresh berries, whipped cream, ham, cheese, or sautéed vegetables.
Notes
- Achieve a thin consistency in the mix for authentic, delicate Crêpes.
- Use a crêpe spreader tool or a tilted skillet to evenly distribute the mix for a thin and uniform texture.
- Customize your Crêpes with sweet or savory fillings to suit any meal or occasion.
- Ensure the skillet is well-greased to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
- Crêpes can be made ahead and stored between layers of parchment paper, then reheated as needed.
