Step-by-step
- Add all ingredients (except butter) in blender and blend it very well. If you don't own a blender, mix them very well to feel like a light cream.
- How to cook crepes
- Heat a crepe pan or 18cm (base measurement) non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush with melted butter to lightly grease. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the pan and tilt the pan in a circular motion, swirling the batter to evenly cover the base. Cook until the edge of the crepe begins to curl. Turn and cook until golden underneath.
- If you can't turn the crepe (as is too soft), add a little bit of flower in composition and try again.
- You fry it with butter. (if you don't know how to fry a crepe, please check a video online).
- As a filling, you can have them plain, with sugar, your favourite Jam, Nutella, honey&bananas (one of my favourites deserts).
- If you don't want to spend a lot of time cooking them, just choose a large frying pan (and that's what I do)
- Enjoy!
Whole milk provides the necessary fat and liquid balance to hydrate flour starches without making the batter overly dense. Blending flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and lemon zest creates a smooth suspension instantly, bypassing the traditional resting period required when mixing by hand. Pouring batter into a heated 18cm non-stick frying pan requires immediate circular tilting to coat the base before the proteins coagulate.
A dedicated crepe pan with sloping sides facilitates easy flipping, though a standard non-stick skillet functions adequately if the diameter matches the desired portion size. Unsalted butter brushed lightly between batches prevents sticking while promoting a golden-brown crust. Maintaining medium heat ensures the butter browns without burning during the brief cooking window.
Visual cues replace thermal measurements entirely during the cooking process. Edges curling upward signal that the underside has set and browned sufficiently for a flip. Cooking proceeds rapidly on the second side, typically requiring only seconds to achieve even coloring.
