What is a Crepe?

Crepes originated from France, a region called Brittany. Many people call them thin pancakes. However, they are softer and more delicate in texture. The batter is runny compared to American pancake batter. They are usually served for breakfast or as a dessert and can be sweet or savory.

Ingredients for Crepes

Traditionally they are made of flour, milk, eggs, butter and vanilla.  Hm, such simple ingredients! What is the secret to the most delicate crepes that will literally melt in your mouth?

Now it is important. After combing the ingredients, allow the batter rest. The flour will absorb the liquid and gluten will relax. Crave delicate crepes? Allow your batter stand ideally for 20-30 minutes!

Description

Easy crepe recipe to make ultra thin, tender, delicate and buttery crepes. Made with only 6 basic ingredients, cooked to golden brown with the most buttery crisp edges and served with fresh fruits and condensed milk. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner!


Ingredients

  • FOR THE BATTER
  • All-purpose flour - 1 cup or 150 gm
  • White sugar- 2 ½ tbsp
  • Salt- ½ tsp.
  • Milk- 1 ¼ cup /310 ml
  • Medium eggs-2
  • Unsalted butter ( melted)- 4 tbsp.

  • Cooking spay ( made of butter & oil) for cooking crepes
  • ingredients-for-crepes
  • FOR SERVING
  • Sweetened condensed milk - as needed
  • Fresh fruits
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Batter. In a large bowl whisk together flour, white sugar and salt, then create a well and pour in milk, vanilla extract, add eggs and melted butter(room temperature).
  2. Whisk until batter is smooth and lumps free. Batter will be runny like a light cooking cream. You might need to add 1-2 tbsp. extra milk, if the batter is not runny/watery.
  3. Allow the batter rest for 15-20 minutes or until it becomes slightly bubbly on top.
  4. Grease a small no-stick pan with a cooking spay. Alternatively, you can grease with a brush or a paper towel.
  5. Give a good stir to the batter.
  6. Cooking crepes.Holding a handle of your pan with your left hand, add about ⅓ cup of the batter into the center of your pan. Quickly tilt/ twirl the pan in all directions to run batter all over the bottom of the pan in a very thin layer. This process takes not more than 2-3 seconds.
  7. Cook for 60 seconds. Using a spatula, lift its edges to see if the under side is golden brown.
  8. Gently flip crepe using 2 spatulas and cook until lightly brown on other side, about 30 seconds.
  9. Slide the crepe onto a plate, grease a pan again with butter or cooking spray and repeat with the rest of the batter.
  10. Serve warm with fruits and condensed milk.
