Crepes

My kids love crepes, and I suspect yours will too. This recipe is simple and delicious, and can be topped with almost anything.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk (plus a little more if needed to get batter to resemble maple syrup)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Whisk together eggs until well blended. Add milk and butter to eggs.
2. 2Pour egg mixture into the dry ingredients and slowly stir until well combined. Don't worry if there are a few small lumps. Let the mixture sit for about 30+ minutes (or it can be made a day ahead). All the lumps will dissolve as it is sitting. Once the batter has sat check it to make sure it is thin enough. It should resemble maple syrup. If not, add extra milk until it does.
3. 3Heat a well seasoned crepe pan to a medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to the pan and then wipe it off, just leaving the butter residue.
4. 4Ladle a small amount of batter into the pan, just enough to thinly coat the bottom when you swirl it around, the amount will depend on the size of your crepe pan. It should be thin and lacy on the edges. Allow to cook until the crepe is golden brown on the bottom, about 1-2 minutes.
5. 5Flip it over and cook for another 30-60 seconds. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
6. 6My kids are usually standing by my side and telling me how to fill them as they come off the stove. A few of their favorites are chocolate hazelnut spread, fruit preserves and butter, ham and cheese (I melt the cheese and fry the ham), fresh fruit and cream, maple syrup, marmelade.
