French crepes are thin pancakes. As the name suggests, they originated in France and are made with a thin batter without leavening agents, resulting in soft, buttery, yet slim pancakes that can be filled with sweet or savoury ingredients. This recipe shares two versions, one for a classic crepe (with no filling). And another version, with a filling of lemon and sugar that adds a tart sweetness to the dish, making it perfect for indulgent mornings or even a quick, after-lunch dessert.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the batter

Add milk and eggs to a jug or a big bowl and whisk to combine. Add melted butter or oil and mix well. In another large bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar. Add about ¾ to 1 cup of the liquid mixture to the flour and whisk to form a smooth paste without lumps. Add the remaining liquid and mix until you have a smooth, watery batter. Cover and let rest for at least 20-30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight.
