Crepes caseros

Ingredientes

• 3 Tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter, plus 3–4 more Tablespoons (43g to 56g) for the pan
• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
• 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (120ml) water, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Preparación

1. 1

   Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, water, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

2. 2

   Melt the butter: Melt the initial 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and whisk it into the batter to add richness and prevent sticking while cooking.

3. 3

   Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and brush it lightly with melted butter to coat.

4. 4

   Cook the crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan, quickly swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown.

5. 5

   Flip the crepe: Gently flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds until set and lightly browned.

6. 6

   Repeat: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover loosely with foil or a clean towel to keep warm. Butter the pan again before pouring the next crepe batter. Repeat the process until all batter is used, approximately 8-10 crepes.

7. 7

   Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, Nutella, powdered sugar, or savory fillings.
