French Recipe
Dish: Crepe
- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 1/2 c. whole milk
- 1 tbsp. butter
extra- banana and whip cream.
Preparation:
- In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. With a whisk, start mixing everything together slowly while incorporating the milk. Add the butter last.
- Let the batter rest for 1 hour at room temperature with plastic wrap on top, then strain to a chinois so your batter is very smooth.
- Heat your skillet and pour the batter into the skillet using a small ladle. Tilt and swirl the pan in a circular motion to evenly coat the entire pan. Let this cook for a minute and then flip it for another 30 seconds.
- Pile the crepes on the same plate so they stay warm and moist. Enjoy with your favorite toppings, or simply top the crepes with sugar.
