Ingredients needed and the step-by-step recipe for those who want to make the fluffiest crepes at home.
Fluffy crepes are an excellent choice when you’re craving something sweet. You may think you know perfectly well how to make crepes, but this recipe is not an ordinary one. It just takes a few simple ingredients that probably everyone has in their kitchen. The crepes are not too sweet and have a slight vanilla aroma. They are delicious and the recipe can be easily adapted to the ingredients you happen to have in your kitchen. Here are a few tricks from the savviest cooks on how to make fluffy crepes.
Ingredients for fluffy crepes
- 3 eggs
- 250 g white flour
- 500 ml cold milk
- A pinch of salt
- 50 g melted butter
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
How to prepare fluffy crepes
To start, sift the flour into a large bowl. Break the 3 eggs into the same bowl. They do not need to be beaten separately, as they can be mixed directly into the flour. Add the salt and prepare the milk.
Pour one third of the milk over the flour and egg mixture and stir vigorously using a wooden spoon. Melt the butter and add it to the mixture. Use the rest of the cold milk to gradually thin the batter. To prevent lumps from forming, keep stirring vigorously. The crepe batter will most likely be sufficiently thin at this point. Place in the fridge to rest for about 30 minutes.
How to fry fluffy crepes
After the batter has rested for half an hour, the fluffy crepes can be fried. This is done in the same way as regular crepes. Pre-heat a pan to prevent the crepes from sticking. Grease the surface of the pan with a towel soaked in sunflower oil.
Pour in a measure of the crepe mixture with a ladle. Then slightly tilt the pan on all sides the pan so that the crepe mixture perfectly covers the bottom of the pan. Leave for 2-3 minutes on a low heat, then turn over. Leave for another 1-2 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Continue frying until all the mixture is used up.
How to assemble the fluffy crepes
The crepes can be filled as desired. Some people prefer fruit jam, such as strawberry jam, raspberry jam, plum jam, or cherry jam. Others like to serve crepes with chocolate cream, plain or flavored with hazelnuts etc. There are also those who add slices of baba in addition to chocolate. There are also people who prefer honey to fill the crepes.
Fold the crepes the way you like. They can be served topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit.
