DIY Crepes

The Best Crepe Recipe Outside of France

Towards the beggining of the year I visited Germany, and everywhere in Germany stalls sold these delicious crepes. When I came back home, I had to figure out how to make them, so I tried multiple recipes online but ended up using parts from each one to come up with the best recipe. These crepes are so easy to make and taste just like the ones off the streets in Germany and France.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of flour
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 2 cups of milk
• 4 eggs
• 4 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions:

1) Pour flour and salt into a large mixing bowl

2) Next, whisk in the milk one cup at a time. Then whisk the eggs in one by one.

3) Then mix in the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla.

4) Cover the mix and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but up to 10 hours.

5) Next, heat up a 8-10 inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan anywhere from medium high to medium low.

6) Add 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet and move the pan in a circular motion to spread the mixture. Cook until the batter becomes less liquid, light brown, and able to carefully flip over. Flip the crepe to cook the other side and then use a spatula to carry the crepe onto a plate.

 

There are many ways to serve crepes. A few options are with Nutella, jams, honey, lemon and sugar, peanut butter, and sliced bannanas.
