Silky Thin Honey Crepes
These are light, paper-thin pancakes that are perfect when drizzled with natural honey.
Ingredients
-
2 Large Eggs.
-
1.5 cups Milk: Any milk of your choice.
-
1 cup Flour: Sifted to avoid lumps.
-
2 tbsp Butter: Melted and cooled slightly.
-
1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup: Plus extra for drizzling.
-
1/4 tsp Salt.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Blend the Batter: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, melted butter, honey, and salt. Gradually add the flour while whisking until the batter is completely smooth and thin (like the consistency of heavy cream).
-
Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for 10 minutes. This allows the bubbles to settle so the crepes don’t tear.
-
Heat the Pan: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
-
Pour & Swirl: Lift the pan and pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan so the batter covers the entire bottom in a very thin layer.
-
Cook: Cook for about 60 seconds until the edges start to turn golden and lift away from the pan.
-
Flip: Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for 30 seconds.
-
Serve: Fold the crepes into triangles and drizzle generously with honey while warm.
For the Crepes:
Q: Why are my crepes breaking when I flip them? A: This usually happens if the pan isn’t hot enough or if the crepe is flipped too early. Wait until the edges are clearly dry and slightly browned before flipping.
Q: Can I make these flourless? A: You can substitute the flour with Oat Flour or a fine Almond Flour for a gluten-free version. The texture will be slightly more delicate, so handle them with care.
Q: How do I keep the crepes from sticking together? A: If you are making a large batch, stack them with a small piece of parchment paper between each one.
