    Crêpes Bretonnes (20)

    Servings: 20
    Preparation time: 60 minutes

    Ingredients
  • 3-1/2 cups flour
  • 10 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter for each crêpe
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for sweet crêpes only)
  • Directions:

    In large bowl, mix flour, salt, eggs and vegetable oil with fork. Beat with electric mixer and add milk slowly until there are no more lumps. Allow batter to rest for 30 minutes.

    Salty crepes

    Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of butter. Pour half a ladle of batter into the hot pan and turn all around until it has spread evenly. Cook for one minute or until the crepe does not stick to the pan and flip with a spatula to cook the other side for about 1 more minute (until golden). You can then add either an egg and cheese, or sliced ham and cheese, or the three together according to your own taste. Fold the crepe in half and keep cooking for about 2 minutes (depending on how you like your egg cooked). Eat immediately.

    Sweet crepes

    Add the sugar to the batter. Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of butter. Pour half a ladle of batter into the hot pan and turn all around until it has spread evenly. Cook for 1 minute or until the crepe does not stick to the pan and flip with a spatula to cook the other side for about 1 more minute (until golden). Eat warm or cold. You can add confectioner's sugar, jam or chocolate sauce, if you wish.
