List of ingredients
250g sifted all-purpose flour (2 cups)
4 eggs
450ml lukewarm milk (a bit less than 2 cups)
2 tbsp amber rum or orange blossom water, or ½ glass beer
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp sugar
1 pinch of salt
50g melted butter (¼ cup)
Steps for the recipe
Melt the butter in the microwave and heat the milk which has to be lightly lukewarm (to avoid lumps in the batter)
Mix the sifted flour, the sugar and the salt in a mixing bowl. You can replace 50g (⅓ cup) of flour with some cornstarch if you want your crepes to be more fluffy.
Add the eggs, the melted butter, and then gradually add the milk while whisking to avoid creating lumps in the batter.
Add the beer or the rum, or the orange blossom water and let the batter stand for 30 minutes before cooking.
Grease your pan with a little butter and pour the batter into the pan using ladle.
Cook on each side until golden brown.
Put the crepes aside on a plate as you go along, and put a piece of foil over them to keep them warm and soft. You should be able to make between 15 and 20 crepes with a 20 cm pan (8 inch pan).
