Crepes
Makes about 16Ingredients:
40g butter
3 eggs + 1 yolk
200g plain flour
500ml milk
Pinch of salt
3 eggs + 1 yolk
200g plain flour
500ml milk
Pinch of salt
Method:
Melt the butter in a small pan. Meanwhile break the eggs into a bowl and whisk together. Add the flour to a mixing bowl, make a well in the centre and drop in the eggs. Beat together using a wooden spoon.
Gradually add the milk, beating vigorously to make a smooth batter. Finally stir in the melted butter and the salt.
It’s good to let the batter rest, but if you can’t wait it won’t end in disaster.
Heat up a non-stick frying pan and add a knob of butter. Swirl the butter around the pan and tip out any excess into a small dish. Add a ladle full of batter, swirl off the heat to evenly coat the base and cook over a medium heat until the bottom is starting to brown and crisp. If you are feeling brave now is the time to toss the crepe, if not a spatula is more failsafe.
Keep cooked crepes warm in a low oven.
