Ingredients
2eggs
1cupflour
1½cupsmilk
1tbspmelted butter
¼tspsalt
Instructions
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl.
Stir in the flour and milk followed by the melted butter and salt.
Beat for about a minute or until frothy.
Set aside for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a 12-inch pan on medium heat, melt a little butter and spread evenly in the pan or apply a light coat of cooking spray.
Ladle out about ¼ cup of the batter into the centre of the pan, then swirl the pan so that the batter runs out to the edges.
Cook for about a minute, shake the pan to ensure the crêpe is not sticking.
When ready to turn the edges should appear golden. Flip the crêpe in one motion.
Cook the reverse side for another minute.
Remove from the pan, set aside and repeat until the batter is used up.
Notes
While the batter rests prepare your filling ingredients. If you wish to prepare the batter in advance and let it sit longer, put it in the refrigerator and it can keep for a day.
