Crêpe batter

✅ The essentials

Flour, eggs, milk, a pinch of salt, and a whisk: crêpe batter is made in five minutes and the first crêpe is cooked ten minutes later. Resting for half an hour makes the crêpes softer, but it is not compulsory. A batter with 250 g of flour makes twelve to fifteen crêpes, and it keeps a day in the fridge.

💡 The one thing to know

The first crêpe is always ugly. It is there to set the heat of the pan, and it gets eaten standing in the kitchen. From the second one on, everything is fine.

🍳 The method

  1. In a bowl, put 250 g flour and a pinch of salt, make a well, break three eggs into it.
  2. Whisk in the centre, bringing the flour in little by little, then pour in 500 ml milk in a thin stream, without stopping whisking, until the batter is smooth like a thin cream. Add a tablespoon of sugar for sweet crêpes, and 30 g melted butter if you have some.
  3. Let it rest thirty minutes if you have time.
  4. Heat a pan on medium-high, grease it with paper towel dipped in oil or rubbed with butter. Pour in a small ladle, tilt the pan to cover the bottom.
  5. One minute: the edges come loose and the underside is golden. Turn with the spatula, thirty seconds, and stack on a plate.

⚖️ The quantities

250 g flour, 3 eggs, 500 ml milk, a pinch of salt: twelve to fifteen crêpes, four people. Without a scale: a little over two glasses of flour, three eggs, two and a half glasses of milk.

⏱️ How long it takes

Five minutes of batter, thirty minutes of resting if you want, and a minute and a half per crêpe. The first to eat is the one at the pan.

🩹 If it goes wrong

Lumps: a go with the immersion blender, or pass the batter through a sieve, nobody will know. Too thick: a little milk. The crêpes stick: the pan was not hot enough or not greased enough. They tear when turning: wait for the edges to come loose on their own. The batter is too thin and the crêpes are fragile: a spoon of flour, whisked in.

🍽️ Make it tonight

Sugar crêpes tonight, and ham and cheese crêpes tomorrow lunch with the same batter.
