Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Cups
- Whisk
- Sifter
- Pan (>20cm)
- Strainer or Sieve (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 eggs (large)
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- butter (greasing pan)
Instructions
- List of ingredients…
- Lightly whisk eggs in a medium bowl.
- Sift and add half the flour and whisk until smooth.
- Sift and add remaining flour and whisk until a smooth paste is formed.
- Add milk gradually and whisk until all milk has been incorporated and you are left with a smooth batter (see Notes).
- Transfer the batter into a pouring jug to make it easier for pouring later. If the batter is not smooth, you can pass it through a fine strainer.
- Let it rest for 30 minutes before using (see Notes).
Cooking
- Using a big pan, lightly grease it with butter and place pan over medium heat (see Notes).
- Pour in approx 3-4 tablespoons and quickly swirl pan to spread the batter so it produces a thin crepe (see Notes)
- Cook until the top of the crepe is no longer wet. Flip and cook the other side until it forms a light brown colour.
- Remove from heat and set aside. It's ready to eat.
- Repeat with remaining batter ensuring to grease the pan each time before pouring in mixture.
Notes
- If batter is slightly too thick, add more milk as required and whisk into mixture.
- If you are not using the batter in 30 minutes, you can store it in the fridge until required.
- When I grease the pan, I put a tiny amount of butter, let it melt and wipe excess off with paper towel.
- Just use your judgement to measure the 3-4 tablespoons of batter in the pan because once the batter hits the pan, it will cook very quickly.
- The pan will continue to get hotter, so you can reduce the heat slightly.
