Ingredients
Ingredients
- 180 g flour (1 1/2 cups)
- 2 eggs
- 400 ml warm milk

- 1 tbsp sugar if you want crepes to be less sweet, add 1/2 tbsp sugar;
- ½ tsp salt
Process
Crepes Batter
I like to whisk the crepes batter with a whisk, and I don't like lumps, so the process looks like this. If you're using a mixer, firstly combine all the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, oil), add then add dry ones (flour, sugar, salt), and simply mix. If you are using a whisk, follow the process below.
- whisk 2 eggs with 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp sugar,
- add 1 tbsp flour to the egg mixture at a time while constantly whisking, until the consistency resembles a sour cream or a greek yogurt,
- add approximately a quarter of the milk (100 ml) and mix,
- continue adding 1 tbsp flour to the milk-egg mixture at a time while constantly whisking,
- repeat the previous 2 steps until all the flour is used, thanks to this method, even when stirring the batter with a whisk, there won't be any lumps;
- add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and mix one last time,
- pour in the remaining milk, stir, and let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.
Cooking the Crepes
- heat a skillet over medium heat and grease it with vegetable oil,
- using a ladle, pour the batter onto the skillet, tilting it to spread the batter evenly,
- once the edges of the crepe start to turn golden brown, flip it and cook the other side,
- stack the cooked crepes and there's no need to grease each one with oil.
