Ingredients
Step by step process
Batter
- 1
These crepes need only 3 ingredients, so they are easy enough for a complete beginner. Sift the plain flour into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and crack in the eggs.
- 2
Gradually pour in the milk and whisk into a smooth batter with no lumps. It should have the consistency of thin cream.
- 3
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. The flour absorbs the liquid and the pancakes will not tear in the pan.
Frying
- 4
Heat a pan over medium heat and wipe it with a thin layer of oil. Ladle in a little batter and swirl it around to cover the whole base.
- 5
Fry for about 1 minute, until the underside turns golden and the edges start to lift. Flip it with a spatula and cook the other side until golden too.
- 6
Stack the finished pancakes on a plate so they stay soft. Fill them savory with ham and cheese, or sweet with jam and sugar.
More tips:
The first one is usually a test. It tells you whether to add more oil to the pan or lower the heat a little.
If the batter thickens after resting, stir in a spoon of milk. A thinner batter gives thinner, more delicate pancakes.
