For tasty crepes recipe

• The first one is obviously "The spread", it's everyone's favorite filling, the greediest choice but not the healthiest, try my recipe for healthy chocolate hazelnut spread.
• The powdered sugar, the white but especially the brown sugar is the best to garnish the crepes.
• The jam, strawberries, raspberries, apricots ...
• Honey, not very common, but some thick crepes such as baghrirs (pancakes with a thousand holes) can be eaten with honey and it is a delight.
• Fresh fruits, yes, but always as a complement to one of the above mentioned toppings.

You can also add praline, whipped cream, ice cream, maple syrup, milk jam, speculoos paste, peanut butter, crushed nuts and the list is still very long....

I always prepare my crepes batter at the last minute, with 4 children at home, leave the rest time and I'm a mom not very organized in the kitchen, so it's always by feeling.

But they are always so successful and delicious!

How to make crepes ?

1. Start by pouring the flour, pinch of salt and sugar into a large bowl.
2. And make a well in the center to add the eggs.
3. Then with a hand whisk, gently mix the eggs first and then gradually incorporate the dry ingredients.
4. Then, with one hand, drizzle the milk in the center and with the other hand continue to mix gradually. (to have the least number of lumps in the dough, do not incorporate the milk into the dry ingredients too quickly).
5. Finally, add all the milk until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous paste with the texture of a liquid cream. (If the dough is too liquid, I add a little flour and if it is too thick, I add milk).
6. Finish by incorporating the melted butter.

Crepes with or without chill

At this stage you have the choice to let your crepes batter rest for 1 hour or if you don't have time you can cook them immediately.

Cooking the crepes

1. Use a crepes pan or an electric crepe maker to cook homemade crepes.
2. Grease the pan with a little butter and pour a small ladle of batter into the hot pan.
3. And cook for about 1 to 2 minutes per side and use a crepes spatula to turn them over easily.

Conservation of the crepes batter

Crepes batter can always be kept in the fridge because it contains eggs, which is a fragile food.

Either in a container with a lid or in a glass bottle with a lid.

You can then keep it for a maximum of 24-48 hours, the best being to use it as soon as possible.
