Easy crepe recipe
Description
The recipe combines water, salt, sugar, neutral cooking oil, white vinegar, eggs, flour, and baking powder into a smooth batter, which is then allowed to rest to ensure even texture and prevent lumps. The vinegar helps tenderize the crepes during cooking. Cooking over medium heat with only a thin layer of oil prevents frying, producing a delicate and soft crepe with a slightly firm edge.
These crepes can be served with a variety of fillings depending on preference, from fruit and sweet spreads to cheeses, meats, or vegetables for savory options. Keeping them warm on a plate over simmering water prevents drying out until serving.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water room temperature
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons caster sugar
- 1 cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 4 teaspoons white vinegar
- 8 egg
- 4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, whisking well to ensure there are no lumps. Allow to stand for 15 minutes covered.
- When you are ready to make the crepes, mix the batter again and if it’s too thick, add a bit more water. It needs to be quite thin, only a little thicker than pouring/heavy cream. You’ll see if you make the first few if the batter is too thick, the crepes need to be very thin and almost lace-like.
- Heat the pan over medium heat. Brush with oil or melted butter and wipe out with a paper towel. You don't want the crepes to fry, the oil just acts as non-stick.
- Add ladle-fulls of the batter to the pan and allow to cook before flipping. Keep the crepes warm on a plate set over a pot of simmering water.
- When you're ready to serve, fill with your choice of filling.
