These classic French crêpes are perfect served simply with caster sugar and lemon juice or with crispy bacon and maple syrup.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups flour

  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 1/4 cups milk

Method

  1. Sift the flour into a medium bowl, stir in the sugar with a pinch of salt and make a well in the centre.

  2. Whisk together the eggs and milk and gradually pour into the well, beating to form a smooth batter. Cover and allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes.

  3. Heat a little butter in an 18cm or 20cm frying pan. Pour in enough batter to thinly coat the base of the pan.

  4. Cook for 1 minute or until golden brown, then toss or turn the crepe to cook the other side. Keep warm on a plate, under a lightweight clean tea town while cooking the remaining batter.
