Ingredients
For the Crepe Batter
Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine *milk*, *water*, *eggs*, *sugar*, *vanilla sugar*, *vegetable oil*, and *flour*.
Using a mixer, blend all the ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over *medium* heat until hot. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil using a brush.
Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet, tilting to spread it evenly and form a thin crepe.
Cook the crepe for approximately *1.5 minutes* on one side, then flip it and cook for another *0.5 minutes* on the other side until golden brown.
Step 3
To decorate, place dehydrated flowers on the crepe while it's cooking. Either cook longer on one side so the flowers set or flip and add the flowers to the cooked side so they adhere to the oil.
You can find dehydrated flowers for decoration at specialty stores like @tortomaster.
Servings
Equipment
A good-sized mixing bowl will make it easier to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Make sure it's big enough to avoid any spills when using a hand mixer.
Using a hand mixer ensures that the batter is smooth and well-combined, which is key for perfect pancakes.
Opt for a high-quality non-stick skillet to make flipping pancakes a breeze. This is essential for achieving that perfect golden color without any sticking.
A basting brush helps you to evenly coat the skillet with oil, ensuring each pancake is cooked to perfection.
A thin, flexible spatula is ideal for turning the pancakes effortlessly without tearing them.
Variations
Faq
- Why aren't my pancakes flipping easily?
This could be due to insufficient oil in the pan or flipping the pancake too soon. Make sure the edges are slightly crispy before attempting to flip.
- Can I use fresh flowers instead of dehydrated ones?
Fresh flowers might release moisture and affect the pancake's texture. Dehydrated flowers are recommended for a consistent result.
- How can I make my pancakes thinner?
If your pancakes are too thick, try adding a little more water to the batter and spreading it out more thinly in the pan.
- Why are my pancakes browning too fast?
Your skillet might be too hot. Try lowering the heat to ensure even cooking without excessive browning.
- How can I store leftover batter?
You can store leftover batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Stir well before using.
- Can I prepare the batter the night before?
Yes, you can! Just be sure to give it a good mix before making your pancakes the next day.
