Basic Crepes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch kosher salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus 3 tablespoons for cooking the crepes
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour and salt and make a well in the center.
- Add the eggs, milk, club soda and 3 tablespoons of melted butter into the center of the well and whisk together until just combined.
- The mixture should be like VERY loose pancake batter.
- If the mixture is a little thick, whisk in a little more milk.
- Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Crepes:
- Melt about a 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a small nonstick saute pan.
- The butter should coat the bottom of the pan, if there is a lot of excess, wipe it out with a paper towel.
- Keep the paper towel handy in case you need it again (you will).
- Put the pan over medium heat.
- Fill a 2-ounce ladle, almost to the top, with batter and pour it into the preheated pan, tipping and rolling the pan, as you ladle the batter, to evenly cover the bottom.
- This will take a little practice, even when you are an experienced crepe maker the first couple always get wasted.
- Accept it and move on.
- When the edges of the crepe begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and the bottom begins to brown a little, turn the crepe over and cook it for about 1 minute on the other side.
- Remove the crepe from the pan to a plate and let cool.
- Stack the crepes as they are cooked between parchment paper squares.
- Repeat this process, until all the batter is used, wiping the pan with your paper towel or melting a little more butter to the pan, as needed.
- YAY!
