How to Make Crêpes
This recipe makes about 18 crepes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white flour
- 2 cups milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients in a blender and mix long enough for the butter to incorporate.
- Allow your crepe batter to rest for at least an hour.
- Heat a flat, non-stick crepe pan. Spread a little butter on the surface with a paper towel, and pour a thin layer of batter onto the pan.
- Once each crepe starts browning a little on the bottom side, lift the sides with your spatula, flip the crepe and remove it once it is browned on both sides.
- Repeat until all your batter has been used up.
Notes
From experience, we tend to say here that your first crepes could be quite a mess, but your last ones are perfect.Here in Provence we love to have crepes with a few drops of lemon and sugar, or honey, or homemade jam.
