Ingredients
For 4 portions
- 125g flour
- 2 medium egg
- 300ml milk, whole
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
Method
- Put the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, add the eggs and a little of the milk. Whisk from the centre outwards, gradually incorporating the flour and the rest of the milk until you have a smooth, thin batter the consistency of single cream. Rest for 15–20 minutes if time allows.
- Melt the butter and keep a little aside for greasing the pan; stir the rest into the batter.
- Heat a non-stick or well-seasoned frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with butter. Pour in a thin ladle of batter, tilting the pan quickly so it coats the base in a thin, even layer.
- Cook for 45–60 seconds until the edges lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for 20–30 seconds. Slide onto a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crêpes and keeping them warm. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar.
