BASIC CREPES RECIPE


I love Crepes, that is a known fact and I used to think that making them was hard and took too long. But the moment I made my first crepes, I have been having fun with these sweet french street food that are famous around the world. So far I have only made sweet crepes but in the coming days, I will be making more savory crepes. So today I thought I would share with you a basic crepes recipe that can be your go to crepe recipe. From there you can add any spices, herbs, fruits, vegetables, drinks like wine or beer and even use different kinds of flours. Crepes are made for everyone, whether you are Vegan, a vegeterian, on a paleo diet or you do not have any dietry needs. There are gluten free crepes, flourless crepes and even 2 ingredient crepes. So you see how much option you have when making crepes! Simple tricks for making crepes include not over beating the batter, a few lumps are okay. If you want a really smooth batter you can use a blender or hand mixer to mix the ingredients.For a finer crepe batter, you can pass the batter through a sieve for that perfectly smooth texture. To get extra crispy crepes make sure the batter is smooth but really runny. Do not put too much batter on the skillet or pan so that the batter can spread thinly around the pan. An important tip while making crepes is to use a non stick pan. This is because crepes are so thin and will tend to stick and you definitely do not want that! Use a rubber spatula if you can since it is thin and will help you smoothly slide it under the crepe when flipping it. Other than that, making crepes is fun and you get to enjoy the fruits of your hard - or not - labour! Here's my basic crepe recipe
