Ingredients

  • 3 medium eggs
  • 250 g 00 flour
  • 500 g whole milk
  • 40 g butter

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a tall bowl:
    • crack the eggs and whisk
    • add the milk and whisk until smooth
    • mix in the lukewarm melted butter
  3. Sift the flour into the bowl through a sieve and whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Cook:
    • heat an 18 cm crêpe pan (or nonstick pan)
    • grease with a small knob of butter
    • pour in a ladle of batter and spread evenly
    • cook for about 1 minute over medium-low heat
    • flip when the edges lift
    • cook the other side for about 1 minute
    • repeat until the batter is used up

Storage

  • Batter: up to 12 hours in the fridge, covered.
  • Cooked crêpes: 2 days in the fridge, covered.
  • You can freeze crêpes separated by parchment paper.

Notes

  • The batter is neutral (no salt or sugar), so it works for both sweet and savory fillings.
  • Butter in the batter is optional.
  • Resting is essential to eliminate any lumps.
  • You can use plant milk (rice, soy, oat) with the same ratios.
