Cuisine: French

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk (divided, non-fat, reduced fat, or whole milk)
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 0.5 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • Butter (for greasing the pan)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or crepe pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the 4 medium eggs. Then, gradually add 2 cups of milk, stirring continuously to combine. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, whisking to form a smooth batter.
  3. Add the ½ cup of avocado oil to the batter, whisking until fully integrated. The batter should be thin and pourable; if it’s too thick, add a bit more milk.
  4. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This step allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crepes.
  5. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of butter to grease the pan, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the skillet. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown.
  7. Using a spatula, gently flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly browned. Remove the crepe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Notes

  • For added fiber, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Try substituting sugar with honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener.
  • Store leftover crepes stacked with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.
