How to Make Crêpes
This recipe makes about 18 crêpes.
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 to a blender and mix long enough for the butter to incorporate.
- Allow your crêpe batter to rest for at least an hour.
- Heat a flat, non-stick crêpe pan. Spread a little butter on the surface with a paper towel, and pour a thin layer of batter into the pan.
- Once the crêpe starts to brown a little on the bottom, lift the sides with your spatula, flip the crêpe, and remove it once browned on both sides.
- Repeat until you have used all the batter.
Notes
From experience, we tend to say here that your first crêpes could be quite a mess, but your last ones are perfect.Here in Provence, we love to have crêpes with a few drops of lemon and sugar, honey, or homemade jam.
