Ingrédients
5 Eggs
250 g Flour
50 g Sugar
500 mL Milk
1 spoon Liquid vanilla
Instructions
- In a bowl, crack the eggs, whisk together with the flour and sugar until a ball forms.
- Pour in a little milk and whisk. Gradually add more milk while whisking.
- Once your batter is completely liquid, add the vanilla.
- 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, or top with jam, sugar, spread… The choice is yours, but they’re delicious on their own!
Astuces
- Add the milk almost drop by drop, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. If there are lumps, blend the mixture. A crepe pan is the most suitable pan, but you can make crepes in any pan. If the pan is sticking, put butter on a paper towel and spread it on the pan between each crepe; a thin layer is enough.
How to make simple and quick pancakes
Yes! To avoid resting the dough, use lukewarm milk (around 35°C). This allows the flour to hydrate instantly. Also, blend the dough in a blender for 1 minute: the centrifugal force mechanically relaxes the gluten, thus replacing the resting time.
All you need is flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt . For an extremely simple version, use 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of milk, and 1 egg. This is the golden rule for never forgetting the recipe, even without scales.
Use a good quality non-stick pan. Oil it only once at the beginning with a damp paper towel. The secret to speed is to cook over high heat : 45 seconds on the first side and 20 seconds on the second is enough.
