Tips and measures

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • Half teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for the batter)
  • Butter for greasing the pan

Method

  1. Whisk the eggs and granulated sugar in a deep bowl.
  2. Add the milk and vegetable oil, and continue whisking.
  3. Add the flour and salt, and whisk until you get a smooth, fluid batter.
  4. Heat the pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  5. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, swirl it, and cook both sides until golden brown.

Whisk slowly while adding flour to avoid lumps, and you can pass the batter through a sieve for extra smoothness.

FAQ

Why let the crepe batter rest?

Resting the batter for 10-15 minutes allows the gluten to relax and flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in softer crepes.

How to prevent crepes from sticking to the pan?

You should lightly grease the pan before pouring each crepe and use a non-stick pan like Teflon or ceramic.
