Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Gradually add the flour, mixing thoroughly to avoid any lumps.

Pour in the milk and vegetable oil, and mix again until the batter is smooth and uniform.

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.

Step 2

Cook the Crepes

Heat a crepe pan over medium heat, lightly greasing it with oil to avoid sticking.

Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly.

Cook for 1-2 minutes until the crepe is golden, then gently flip it to cook the other side.

Transfer the cooked crepes to a plate and cover them with a lid to keep them soft and warm.

Step 3

Add Optional Poppy Seeds

If you desire a crunchy texture, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of poppy seeds into the batter before cooking.

These will add a delightful flavor to your crepes.

Enjoy your crepes as is or with your favorite toppings!

Faq

  • What should I do if my crepes are sticking to the pan?

    Ensure your non-stick pan is adequately heated before pouring in the batter. If they are still sticking, you might need to add a little oil to the pan.

  • How can I keep my crepes warm while I finish cooking the batch?

    Stack your completed crepes on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. This will keep them warm and soft while you finish cooking!

  • Can I make the batter ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can make the batter and let it sit in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir before cooking!

  • What is the best way to fill crepes?

    The best way is to place your filling in a line down the center of the crepe and then fold the sides over. For more presentation, you can also roll them up!

  • How do I achieve the perfect golden color on my crepes?

    Make sure your pan is preheated and use a ladle to pour the batter in. Cook on medium heat, and once you see the edges turning golden, it’s time to flip!

    Yes, you can! Place parchment paper between them and store them in an airtight container. They’ll be perfect for a quick breakfast later on!
