Recipe

This recipe for sweet crêpes is an easy one to start with (for about 30 crêpes):

• 500 g plain flour
• 1 L milk
• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp oil or melted butter
• 1 pinch of salt

Put the flour at the bottom of a mixing bowl and make a hole in the middle where you put the eggs, the oil or butter, the salt and a bit of milk. Mix them and slowly incorporate the flour, you should get a thick paste. Then continue mixing and slowly add the rest of the milk, mix well to avoid making lumps. You may add a bit of liqueur (traditionally Brandy or fleur d'oranger) for more taste. You may even replace part or all of the milk by beer! Some people use a blender on the batter and let it refrigerate over night.

Heat a flat cooking pan (non-stick recommended), grease it with some butter, and pour some batter while rolling the pan to make the crêpe as thin as possible. Cooking may take 30 to 60s until the cooked side looks like the moon surface, then turn it over to cook the other side; with some practice, you can flip it in the air by swinging the pan.

Popular sweet toppings in France include sugar (granulated or powdered), sugar and lemon juice, whipped cream, jam, fruit spreads, sliced soft fruits, or Nutella is the brand-name of a chocolate and hazelnut spread created in the 1940s by Ferrero (best known for their Ferrero Rocher sweets which are filled with Nutella).
