How to Make French Crepes

Making French crepes is one of my favorite breakfast foods to make! Crepes can be eaten savory or sweet which is very convenient if you have leftover batter to have for lunch . At first I thought French crepes counted as baking because I eat it with chocolate, but it is actually cooking. The word crepes  traces back to the Latin word ‘crispa’ or ‘crispus’ which means curled, and refers to their often slightly ruffled edges.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2  teaspoon of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of butter

Recipe:

Mix 1 cup of flour with a pinch of salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, add two eggs, 1 ¼ cup of milk, and two tablespoons of melted butter. Next, add the wet mixture to the dry mixture one fourth portion at a time. You want the ingredients to feel slightly thicker than water as you mix them. If you feel any lumps in the batter you can put it through a sieve. Or, if your batter feels too thick add ¼ of milk at a time till you reach the right consistency. Now you are ready to cook the crepes!  Add ¼  cup of your batter into a buttered pan and leave it to cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and repeat. Finally! It is time to eat your crepes, add any desired toppings munch down on your new favorite food!
