Fancy Crêpe

Ingredients

• 125 g all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tbsp granulated
• 4 eggs
• 172 ml milk
• 172 ml heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 tbsp butter

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
2. Whisk the eggs in the other bowl.
3. Mix in the milk, cream, and vanilla.
4. Whisk well.
5. Pour half of the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl.
6. Whisk very well.
7. This is where some gluten develops, so experiment with more or less whisking to your taste.
8. Pour the rest of the wet mixture in.
9. Whisk to combine.
10. Cover.
11. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
12. This is when the flavor and the rest of the gluten develops.
13. Let the batter come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
14. Heat the pan over medium heat.
15. Melt the butter.
16. Mix into the batter.
17. When the pan is hot but not smoking, pour ⅓ cup batter in the middle.
18. Tilt and rotate the pan to spread evenly.
19. If you mess up, no worries, just cook it through and eat it.
20. When the crepe starts separating from the pan, you can flip it.
21. If you like it crispier, let it cook more but don't burn it.
22. You can flip with any utensil a few inches wide and thin enough to slide under the crepe.
23. The hotter the pan, the faster it will cook.
24. It's possible to cook a crepe in 20 seconds or so with high heat, but there's nothing wrong with cooking it slow on low heat.
25. Serve the crepes warm.
26. To store, wrap airtight so they don't lose moisture.
27. Refrigerate.
28. Reheat on the stovetop.
