Ingredients

  • 250 g flour
  • 500 ml milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 20 g butter melted
  • 60 g icing sugar
  • 15 ml rum optional

Instructions

  • In a large bowl beat together the eggs, sugar, salt, butter and rum to the mixture.
  • All at once add the flour and whisk it in to create a thick batter.
  • Gently stream in the milk, mixing every time to avoid clumps. You will end up with a runny liquid batter.
  • Heat up a crêpes pan or a non stick pan on medium heat. Grease it lightly with some butter.
  • Ladle the batter on the pan* and move around until it’s all covered and there is a thin layer cooking. Let it cook for about a minute and flip over, cook for a few seconds until both sides are nicely caramelised. Repeat until all the crêpes are cooked!

Notes

*For a 25cm pan I put in about 1/4 cup of batter.
