Pâte à crêpes
A reliable everyday crêpe batter.
Ingredients
- 250 g plain flour
- 4 eggs
- 500 ml milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for the pan)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
Method
- Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
- Crack in the eggs and whisk from the centre outwards, gradually pulling in the flour.
- Pour in the milk a little at a time, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Stir in the melted butter. Rest the batter 30 minutes if you have time.
- Heat a lightly buttered pan over medium heat, ladle in a thin layer, and cook ~1 minute per side until golden.
Notes
Rest the batter if you can — it makes the crêpes noticeably more tender. Thin the batter with a splash of milk if it thickens as it sits.
