Preparazione

1. 1

   --- FOR CREPES ---

2. 2

   Whisk together flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Make a well in the centre and pour in milk, eggs and slightly cooled melted butter. Whisk wet ingredients first before folding into the dry ingredients.

4. 4

   Whisk until batter is smooth. Batter should be runny/watery. Add in 1-2 tablespoons extra milk, if needed.

5. 5

   --- BLENDER METHOD ---

6. 6

   Add all the ingredients into a blender. Blend until batter is smooth, about 10 seconds.

7. 7

   --- REST ---

8. 8

   Let batter rest while preheating a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Alternatively, cover batter and refrigerate overnight.

9. 9

   --- COOK CREPES ---

10. 10

    Lightly grease pan with a layer of butter with a butter soaked paper towel or silicone brush.

11. 11

    Give the batter a light mix to move settled ingredients around before pouring out each crepe.

12. 12

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the centre of your hot pan. Swirl around in a circular motion to evenly coat the bottom of the pan, spreading the batter around the edges. Fill in any gaps with a little extra crepe batter if needed.

13. 13

    Place pan back on the heat.

    Gently flip crepe and cook until set, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

    Repeat until all the batter is used up, mixing batter before pouring out each crepe.
