Crepes
This recipe is a ratio, so we expect you to have a scale for this one. It's a bit different, but we promise it's worth the brain power! For our choice crepe variant, see Crepes Suzette below the main crepe recipe.
Ingredients
Start with 1 egg per person: Other ingredients by weight
- 1 part Egg
- 1 part Milk
- ½ part Flour
- 1 TBS butter per egg
Example for 3 people
- 3 eggs for 150g
- 150g of milk
- 75g of flour
- 3 TBS butter
Method
- Melt butter, and set aside to cool
- Whisk milk and eggs together until smooth
- Whisk milk and egg mixture into flour until smooth, but for no more than 1 minute
- Add butter to mixture
- Set batter aside for a minimum of 15 minutes, up to a full day; we shoot for 30 minutes
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until evenly heated (don't worry about overheating your nonstick pan at this temp, it will be fine)
- Brush a very small amount of butter into the pan just to get it primed for the first crepe
- Pour ~1/3 cup of batter into your pan, and tilt pan to evenly distribute batter in a thin layer
- After ~30 seconds, flip and cook on other side for ~10 seconds until both sides are barely starting to brown
- Remove from pan and set aside on plate while finishing your batch; Because the thermal mass of the crepes are so low, we strongly suggest preheating the plate you will be stacking them on
- If filling, stack flat on plate
- If covering in sauce, fold into quarters and stack
