Ingrédients
ÉCHELLE
- 1 ¼ cup milk (10 fl oz)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp oil or melted butter
- 2 tsp sugar (savory) or 3 tbsp sugar (sweet)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 4 oz all purpose flour (scant 1 cup)
- 2 tbsp softened butter (for cooking)
- 1–2 lemons
- ¼ cup vanilla sugar
- Whipped cream
Préparation
- Place the milk and eggs in a jug or bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the oil or butter and whisk again.
- Place the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- Add about ¾–1 cup of the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix gently to form a smooth paste.
- Add the remaining liquid and mix to form a smooth, watery batter.
- Cover the batter and let it rest for 20–30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Preheat a 10-inch non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Lightly brush the pan with softened butter.
- Stir the batter each time before pouring.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
- Cook until set or lightly browned, then flip and cook briefly on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking crepes as you go.
- For lemon-sugar crepes: sprinkle sugar on a crepe, fold into quarters, and serve with lemon slices and whipped cream.
Notes
- 4 oz all-purpose flour equals a scant 1 cup.
- Resting the batter helps improve texture.
