My tips on how to make classic crêpes:
- I like to use a non-stick pan to make crêpes. I find that if I use a steel pan, no matter how much butter I use, it will stick and really ruin the crêpes.
- Do not forget to let the batter sit for 10 minutes. This helps to naturally thicken the mixture, without having to add in more flour.
- I always add in about 2 tablespoon of melted butter to the batter. I find that it makes the crêpes super soft and silky.
- When you start frying your crêpes, most people use butter but you can use a non-stick spray if you want to. I suggested butter as it really adds richness and flavour to the crêpe.
- A rubber spatula is the best tool for flipping crêpes because they are so thin and fragile.
What if I have left over mixture?
If I have left over mixture or if you’ve made a double batch, place the batter in an air tight container and refrigerate for up to two days. When you are ready to fry them off, give the batter a good whisk and fry as usual.
