Simple recipe I have used time and again. Making the batter is the easy part, the real challenge is in the cooking.

I have found that the most important part to making good Crêpes is to make the batter in advance, the night before is best, at the very least wait 2 hours after you have made the batter to use it.

Another important thing I have learned the hard way is to chose your pan wisely especially if you are not cooking on gas. The crêpes need to cook fast which means the pan needs to be evenly heated. I use a cast iron and heat it very slowly to reach the ideal “medium heat”

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Flour with a little Maizena in the mix (250 gr)
• 1/2 Liter Milk
• 4 Eggs
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 Vanilla bean
• Beer

Step 1:

In a large bowl break the eggs, whisk with the sugar and Vanilla. Add the flour slowly, and whisk it with the egg mix as it become sticky dough add milk to keep a smooth texture, continue adding little flour, little milk.

Make sure the consistency is perfectly smooth.

Step 2:

Pour a little bit of beer to the batter to give it a lighter consistency whisk it into the batter. The beer has yeast and will help the crepes be fluffy.

Let it rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 3:

Get the batter out and check for consistency with a spoon. It needs to be fairly thick but not so thick you end up with Pan-crepe. Add milk as needed if it feels too thick.

Heat the pan evenly, over medium heat, make sure it is oiled so the crêpes don’t stick, I usually put a little oil and then spread it with a paper towel.

When you pour the batter in the center of the pan it should make a little sizzling sound. move the pan with your wrist to get the batter to form a nice round shape. It should only take a few seconds for the batter to make small air bubbles. flip it fast… done and repeat…

Master Yoda wants you to accept 2 simple truth if you are embarking on a Crepe-journey.

• Mess-up your first and last Crepe you will
