Thin Batter Crepes
This recipe makes a thinner, more traditional crepe batter. A larger skillet helps the batter spread into a thin layer.
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cups flour
- Butter for frying
Directions
- Lightly beat the eggs.
- Add about 1/3 of the milk, then stir in the sugar and salt.
- Add the flour and mix well with an electric mixer.
- Add the remaining milk.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- If needed, add a little more milk so the batter is thin.
- Heat a skillet until hot.
- Add a small amount of butter and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add just enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Cook until lightly browned, then turn and brown the other side.
- Stir the batter before cooking each crepe.
Crepe tip: Thin crepes cook quickly. Keep the heat steady and use only enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan.
