Recipe for Crêpes

You have all seen Yuan Chen's fabulous video of our Crêpes session! 
Now here is the recipe for about 15 crêpes:

Fun stuff!

Ingredients

• 250 g of flour [approx. half a pound]
• 4 whole eggs (beaten)
• 1 pinch of salt
• 60 g de butter «melted» [2 ounces]
• 50 cl of milk (1/2 liter)
• 30 g of sugar for sweet recipes [1 ounce]

Making the Batter

1) Soften the butter in a small bowl if its at room temperature. Or melt the butter a little to better mix it into the batter later.

2) In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and push it to the sides to create a hole in the middle. Then add the salt, beaten eggs, and as you mix add the milk and finally the melted butter.
3) Let the mixture sit while you heat a large plan frying pan.

Making the Crêpes

1) Lightly grease the pan with butter while its still heating. Careful not to add too much!

This one was to die for: brigadeiro, bananas and walnuts

2) Once the pan is very hot, add about one full ladle of batter and make sure it covers the entire pan.

3) Test the sides with a spatula and if it comes off easily, its ready to flip or fold in half.

4) Once folded in half, add the sweet or salty filling of your choice then fold the crêpe twice more until it looks like a pizza slice.

5) Flip it over once more to make sure the filling melts and heats.

Ready to eat! Cover it with a sauce or powdered sugar, toppings can be anything you like! Enjoy!

We had some adrenaline going on too :D

All hail the blueberries

No left overs this time
