Ingredients for making basic easy crepe recipe:
1 cup (120g) Pastry flour
1 tbsp (10g) sugar
1/4 tsp (2g) Salt
3/4 cup (200ml) milk
2 eggs

Instructions for making thin crepes:
– Start by sifting pastry flour into a large bowl
– Sifting the flour helps to get rid of lumps in the batter so your crepes come out beautifully smooth
– Next add 1 tbsp of sugar and 1/4 tsp of salt to the flour and whisk to combine
– Now it’s time to add the wet ingredients starting with milk, we used whole milk but pretty much any kind of milk will work, followed by 2 whole eggs
– Give the batter a really good whisk
– This isn’t like pancake batter where you want to leave lumps, for the ideal crepe batter you need it super super smooth so to ensure there are absolutely no lumps, strain the batter through a sieve and use a spatula to push it through
– Now you’re ready to start cooking
– Melt some butter in a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat
– Use a ladle to scoop a portion of batter into the pan then gently swirl the pan so the batter spreads out evenly across the surface
– Cook for about 1 minute then use a spatula the gently flip the crepe and cook for about another minute
– This recipe will make about 8-10 crepes of this size
– You’re now ready to add any filling you like, we stuck with classic Nutella but fruit or jam would be amazing as well
– Fold the crepe into quarters and you’re ready to serve! Subscribe to Dished for more basic recipes
