A recipe for Crepes

Here is the recipe for crepes that was given to us when I went to the Breton Cultural centre for an afternoon to learn how to make crepes. These are crepes, so they are sweet. With these ingredients, you can make about 4,5 dozens (about 50-55 crepes).

  • 1kg wheat flour
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 l milk
  • 0,5 l water
  • 500 grammes sugar (you can reduce it to 400grammes if you want)
  • a pinch of salt.

Beat the eggs with the sugar, add the flour and salt, mix well. Add the milk slowly. Let rest for about an hour. The batter will thicken. Add the water and mix well. You’re ready to go. If you use an electric griddle, set it to about 230-250 degrees celsius.

The pancakes freeze well, and I am told some people also freeze the left over batter. We do a big batch and freeze some packets of 8.
