with almost anything!

Sweet Crêpes (French Pancakes)

I N G R E D I E N T SFor the Crêpe Batter• 2 large eggs• 3/4 cup milk• 1/2 cup water• 1 cup flour• 3 tablespoons melted butter• Butter, for coating the pan

Fillings (choose from these and more)• Nutella• Banana slices• Freshly Whipped Cream• Fresh Blueberries• Lemon Curd (see our recipe)• Powdered Sugar• Fresh Strawberries• Crème Fraîche• Chocolate Sauce• Strawberry Preserves• Dulce de Leche ice cream• Caramel Sauce

{STEP 1}

Prepare the Batter and Let it Rest

Mix all batter ingredients in a blender for about 30 seconds, until completely blended.

Allow batter to “rest” in refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight.

{ S T E P 1 }

Prepare the Batter

“Resting” the batter increases its viscosity, making it easier to pour and cook. The longer the batter rests, the more tender the Crêpes. If you don’t have time to let the batter rest, don’t worry about it. Try it both ways and see if you notice a difference.

Cook’s Note

{STEP 2}

Cook the Crêpes

Heat an 8-10 inch crêpe or sauté pan over medium heat. Brush pan with butter.

Pour just enough batter to coat the bottom and lowest edges of the pan. Pour batter into center of pan first, then swirl pan quickly to move batter around bottom of pan so that it’s coated with a thin layer of batter (watch the video to see how we do it).

Let the crêpe cook for about 30 seconds (until it’s lightly browned on the bottom and bubbles appear around the edges). Flip and cook for another 15 seconds or so. Remove from pan to cool.

Continue cooking crêpes until batter is used up.

Cook the Crêpes

Gently stack pancakes in a circular layout on a plate to cool (this makes them easier to

pick up than stacking them directly on top of each other.
