Basic Crepes Recipe – French Special
Crepes are one of the most versatile recipes, but they can be intimidating…Don’t worry, though, with this easy recipe, you can say goodbye to the days of lumpy batter and pan flipping that ends up with more batter on the ceiling and floor than actually cooking! This recipe uses a blender to create a wonderfully smooth batter, and we suggest using a spatula to carefully flip these beautifully crispy and golden crepes. Speaking of that golden glow, if you’ve had issues in the past, use this tip of wiping the hot pan with butter to create a nice, even colour. Similar to pancakes, but a star in their own right, crepes can be made sweet or savoury, making them popular across the globe. In fact, even though they have French origins, on Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) in the UK, crepes are the most popular type of pancake to make and are usually enjoyed with just sugar and lemon juice. Simple, but perfect!
