Ingredients Method Notes

المقادير
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 eggs
  • about 3 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for sweet crêpes)
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • butter for greasing the pan
  • for the filling: chocolate, honey, jam, or cheese and turkey for savoury

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs with the sugar, salt and vanilla.
  2. Add the flour alternating with the milk, whisking constantly until you have a smooth, lump-free pourable batter, then stir in the melted butter.
  3. Let the batter rest for about 20 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan and grease it with a little butter, pour in a ladle of batter while swirling the pan to spread it into a thin layer.
  5. Cook the crêpe for about a minute on each side, until it turns lightly golden.
  6. Fill each crêpe with whatever you like, fold it into a triangle or roll it up, and serve right away.

ملاحظات

Letting the batter rest makes the crêpes more tender and less likely to tear.
If the batter is too thick, add a little milk until it becomes pourable again.
The first crêpe is usually a test one, the time it takes to get the pan's heat and the amount of batter just right.
