Yummy Crepes Recipe Savour the traditional French treat, crepes! These tiny, delicate pancakes, which are loaded with a variety of delicious toppings, may be enjoyed savoury or sweet. Learn how to make crepes with this easy recipe.
Parts and pieces:
- One cup of flour for all purposes
- 2 full-sized eggs
- 1/2 ounce of milk
- Water, half a cup
- a quarter of a teaspoon of salt
- melted butter equal to two tablespoons
- For sweet crepes, one teaspoon of vanilla extract is required.
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (this is optional for sweet crepes).
Details to follow:
First, get the batter ready by:
- The flour and eggs should be mixed together in a large mixing dish using a whisk.
- Gradually add the milk and water, stirring to mix.
- Add the melted butter, salt, and vanilla essence (and sugar if making sweet crepes). Shake the batter until it is completely smooth and free of any lumps.
2. Let the Batter Rest:
- Let the batter rest for around 20-30 minutes. This helps the flour to thoroughly absorb the liquids and results in soft crepes.
3. Cook the Crepes:
- Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and quickly swirl it around to coat the surface in a thin, equal layer.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
4. Serve:
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite fillings. For delicious crepes, use Nutella, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar. For savory crepes, use fillings like cheese, ham, eggs, or sautéed vegetables.
