Crêpes
| Ingredients: Serves 6-8 |
Equipment: |
| 1 + 2/3 cups of flour
|
1 electric mixer or blender
|
| 4 eggs
|
1 medium sized mixing bowl |
| 2 pinches of salt |
1 small potato peeler |
| 2 tablespoons oil
|
1 round non-stick pan
|
| 2 cups of milk
|
1 ladle; 1 fork |
Directions:
Put the flour into the mixing bowl. Add the four eggs into the bowl and stir completely.
Next add the salt, oil, and milk and stir this thoroughly. When finished stirring let the
batter sit at room temperature for thirty minutes.
Now prepare to cook the crêpes. Pour two tablespoons of oil into a small bowl. Cut the
potato in half and remove the skin around the flat end. Stick the fork into round end of
the potato and dip it into the oil. Lightly grease the pan with the flat end of the potato
each time you cook a crêpe. The fork will help prevent any accidental burns from the hot
pan.
Before cooking remember that the crêpe should be as thin as possible in the pan (it's
not a pancake.) Be careful though because this will cause it to cook very quickly.
Immediately after putting the crêpe mixture in the pan, twist and turn the pan to cover
the surface. The crêpe should be lightly browned on both sides. It is recommended that
you cook as many crêpes as possible and just refrigerate the leftovers. |
