Crepe Recipe
These simple pancakes are sometimes called ‘crepes’. The first one you make may be a bit messy as the pan’s still warming up – think of it as a cook’s treat. This crepe recipe can be made in advance, refrigerated and then re-heated just before serving. Pancakes also freeze very well. Interleave with non stick baking paper or greaseproof paper, then wrap in foil and freeze for up to a month. Thaw at room temperature for several hours.

Ingredients110g plain flour
MethodStir the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, then add the eggs plus half of the milk. Stir to make a very thick, lump free batter using a wooden spoon, then beat in the remaining milk followed by the melted butter or just whiz all the ingredients in a blender Heat a non stick frying pan (approx 20cm/8 inch) on medium heat and grease lightly with oil. Pour approximately 3 tbsp of batter into the pan, tilting so that there is a thin coating on the base of the pan. Cook for 1 to 1 ½ minutes until golden brown, then flip with a spatula (or toss if you dare !) and cook a further minute. Serve with sugar and lemon or maple syrup or one of the fillings featured in this book. Transfer to a plate. The crepes can be stacked with squares of greaseproof paper or baking parchment in between. |
