4 Eggs
25 g Butter
80 g Beer
80 g Cream
250 mL Milk
Instructions
- In a bowl, crack the eggs, whisk together the flour, salt and sugar until a ball forms. Incorporate the melted butter.
- Pour in a little milk and whisk. Gradually add more milk while whisking.
- Add the beer and cream, mix, add the lemon and orange zest to taste.
- In a buttered and very hot crepe pan (or frying pan), then place over medium heat, pour a ladleful of batter, then tilt the pan so that the batter spreads everywhere.
- Using a spatula, flip your crepe as soon as the edges are cooked. Finish cooking for 1 minute.
- Enjoy! Eat them plain, topped with jam, sugar, or spread for an extra touch of indulgence. Hot or cold.
Astuces
- For an extra indulgent version, you can add the toppings directly in the pan!
- Zest is optional; the beer ensures a light texture, while the cream adds richness.
- If there are any lumps, feel free to blend the batter before cooking! It’s the magic fix!
The secrets to delicious and fluffy crepes
Brown butter is the secret of chefs. By heating it until it turns amber, it develops notes of toasted hazelnut that transform a classic pastry into a gastronomic experience. It also guarantees unparalleled softness.
Use whole milk and add a tablespoon of heavy cream. The fat in these ingredients prevents the crepes from hardening. Once out of the oven, stack them on a plate and cover them with a tea towel to retain moisture.
Grand Marnier or amber rum are classic choices. They pair perfectly with the richness of butter. For a more original version, a splash of Calvados or dry cider adds a very elegant fruity touch.
