Crêpes Recipe

Introducing a delightful stack of crêpes, a versatile dish that successfully bridges the gap between a heartwarming breakfast and a sumptuous dessert. Originating from France, these thin, delicate pancakes can be served either sweet or savory, making them a perfect fit for any mealtime or culinary preference. The crêpe's simplicity in ingredients - broadly involving all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, and a touch of butter or oil for cooking - belies the sublime experience of its light, tender texture and subtle flavors, accentuated by your choice of fillings or toppings.

Crêpes Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center. 2. Crack the egg into the well and start whisking gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides. 3. Slowly add the milk, ensuring to whisk continuously to avoid lumps. For a smoother batter, you can blend the mixture using a blender. 4. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator. This step is crucial for developing the flavors and getting the right texture. 5. Heat a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned skillet over medium heat. Brush it lightly with butter or oil. 6. Once hot, pour or ladle a small amount of batter into the pan, tilting and swivelling it to spread the batter thinly across the surface. 7. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift from the pan, then flip gently and cook the other side for an additional minute or until lightly golden. 8. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crêpes on a plate. Optionally, you can cover them with a clean tea towel to keep them warm.
