CREPE RECIPE

Ingredients

1 Cup / 125g Flour
½ tsp Salt
2 Eggs
1¼ Cups | 310ml Milk
2 tbsp Melted Butter + extra for cooking

Instructions

In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the flour and salt together with a whisk.
In a seperate smaller mixing bowl whisk together the eggs and milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, a ¼ at a time, whisking together until smooth.
Pour the melted butter into the crepe batter and whisk until combined.
Cover the crepe batter with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge to rest overnight or if limited for time 1 hour.
Heat a large frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease the pan with melted butter and pour in about a ¼ cup of crepe batter. Use a crepe tool or tip the pan around to spread the batter evenly.
Cook the crepe for 30 seconds to a minute or until the top has set, flip the crepe using a spatula and your hands and cook for a further 30 seconds on the remaining side.
Serve your crepes filled with your favourite filling.

We make crepes A LOT! My boys absolutely love them! As we are from South Africa, we call them pancakes, but they are the same as your crepes....very thin. We have them with lots of different fillings. We regularly have crepe evenings! Then we start with some kind of savoury filling and end with one or 2 sweet ones!
I'll share our fillings with you:
*The most traditional in South Africa is cinnamon-sugar that you sprinkle all over the crepe and then roll it like a swiss roll or cigar. For me, I add the lemon juice too! It is just delicious like that!
*Caramel/Dulce de leche and banana
*Nutella and banana
*Caramel with a little whipped cream and n good sprinkle of grated/chopped mint chocolate
*Pastry cream with fresh fruit of your choice or even just some cinnamon with that (that is a play on our traditional milktart we make here)
*Your favourite preserve with a little whipped cream
*Chocolate mousse with fresh strawberries
Goodness, the sweet varieties are endless!
Savoury fillings :
*Mix grated cheese, chopped crispy bacon, finely chopped chives and a little mayonnaise
*A creamy chicken & mushroom
*Chicken & mayo (add a little curry powder and some finely diced tinned apricots for a lovely different variation)
*Savoury mince and then you top it off with a delicious cheese sauce (this one is the favourite at my house)
*Tuna, sautéed onion & green pepper mixed with white sauce or cheese sauce
*Cream cheese with salmon
*Cream cheese with salami/ham - these are ideal for a savoury platter. Roll the crepes tightly and cut in slices. They look beautiful on a platter
*use it like you would a tortilla/wrap - it is not as strong though
*use the crepes instead of pasta sheets when making a lasagna
*you can make wonderfull crepe cakes
I hope I have inspired you all to try out Carina's delicious crepes!

My favorite filling for crepes is Nutella and strawberry’s

[nwreny]

For one batch :
1 Cup Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Eggs
1 1/4 Cup Milk
2 Tbsp Butter melted

Edit : if you, like me, forgot to sift the flour, don’t worry, put the final batter through a sift. This is before adding butter .

Idk about anyone else but I seriously thought Rebel Wilson was narrating

My grandma used to make these when I was a kid with a simple brown sugar and butter topping. I couldn’t remember the recipe but yours looks exactly the way she made them! Can’t wait to make them again! Thanks for the video!

[changaroo]

I absolutely love how this creator puts both measurements, not many online bakers do that

[Znpm]

In my culture we don’t measure and it still turns out great we just pour how much we think we need

I never heard this accent in my life 😂

“Make sure the eggs are room temperature”
Bruh I’m hungry NOW🤣🤣

Followed the recipe, and the crepes turned exactly like hers. Although, I added 1/2 tbsp of sugar to the dough and didn't spread butter on the pan - the butter in the dough was enough. I folded the crepes with sweetened quark mixed with dried apricots (Eastern European style).

Who else is here because you’ve got nothing better to do in quarantine?

Spanian and his best crepe seeking adventures in Paris got me looking for a good crepe recipe. Thank you for this.

[adrienhavet]

Small tip from a French who makes lots of crêpes : you can reduce the milk quantity just a little bit and substitute the quantity you have taken out with beer or rhum ; it gives them a wonderful taste... Either way, about two or three tablespoon would suffice...

When I was in France, my Aunt took me to one of the best creperies in the town. We had savory crepes which had leaks and scallops in it. They were so divine. Scallops and crepes pair well together because they’re both delicate in flavor and texture.

For dessert we had dark chocolate banana crepes. Ugh. So good.

[dgwatson]

You are so good with simple, straightforward instructions. I could listen to you talk about anything.

[salpat]

Hi Thank you the best recipe ever. my 12 year son made this for me. My son was finding a waffle recipe then saw this recipe everything turned out perfect. Thanks again

[cookingwithglen]

You are a crape master! They came out absolutely perfect! I didn’t even know such a thing as a crape tool existed. Thanks you very much for the great recipe.

[bunnie]

[aintgonnaletuknow]

In hongkong we often put mayonnaise, imitation crab and some seaweed inside the crepe. IT IS DELICIOUS definitely recommend it to try
