Ingredients

Method

  1. Mix the flour, sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre.
  2. Add the eggs and whisk, pouring in the milk a little at a time to avoid lumps.
  3. Stir in 30 g of melted butter. Rest the batter for 30 minutes if you can.
  4. Heat a lightly buttered frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Pour in a small ladle of batter, tilting the pan to spread it thinly.
  6. Cook for 1 minute, flip and cook for 30 more seconds. Repeat until the batter is used up.

💡 Tip : Swap 100 ml of the milk for water or beer for lighter crêpes.
