Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for crepes:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs.
- Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine.
- Add the salt and melted butter, and beat until smooth.
- Cook the Crepes:
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe.
- Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Flip the Crepes:
- Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown.
- Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.
- Serve hot.
Tips:
- Consistency: The batter should be quite thin. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk or water.
- Resting: Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
- Cooking: Ensure your pan is properly heated before pouring the batter to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions:
- Sweet Fillings: Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or honey.
- Savory Fillings: Ham and cheese, sautéed mushrooms, spinach and feta, or smoked salmon with cream cheese.
