Serves:
makes 30 crepes
Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Cooking Time:
2 minutes
Total Time:
17 minutes

Step 1: You will need

  • 500 g flour
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 ltr milk
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • zest of 3 lemons
  • 100 g butter
  • 1 medium frying pan
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 serving plate
  • 1 ladle
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spatula

Step 2: Make the mix

Put the flour into the large bowl. Add the eggs, salt and vegetable oil and mix together well. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously and stir until it becomes uniform in colour and consistency. Finally, add the lemon zest and combine.

Step 3: Make the crepes

Turn the heat to medium to warm the frying pan, then add the butter and let it melt.

Ladle some of the crepe mix into the frying pan, just enough to make a thin layer. Move the frying pan in circles to evenly cover the pan with the mix.

Cook until the liquid starts to dry then turn the crepe and cook for about another minute. When ready, remove from the frying pan onto a serving plate.

Repeat the same sequence with every crepe until you use up all the mixture. When you finish, turn off the heat.

Step 4: Serve

Crepes can be served in many different ways - with fresh fruit fillings, cheese, ham or just sugar and lemon juice - the possibilities are endless.

    Personally I usually slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients as I am whisking, And perhaps slightly less flour for the indicated ingredients. You should only add as much flour as is required to get the right creamy consistency.

    an important rule in french grammar is that you dont pronounce the last letter in a word :|

  8. EXOTERIC

    I'm french..Pronunciation is in fact more like KREP.. And, you do not pronounce the s. It's sounds the same if you say in in singular or plural. Same word;...une crepe or des crepes...Hard K, rolling r, et (sounds like when a Canadian says Eh!) and short p..not 'pa' but 'pe'. KREP..not craps not crepes...but just say KREP!

    Love it.. I eat it every week ;D It's pronounced "Crep".. we don't pronounce the s at the end
