There are hundreds of ways to top a crêpe. You may like them drizzled with lemon and dusted with icing sugar, smothered in Nutella or eaten plain. It is fantastically versatile and can be eaten as a breakfast, lunch or dinner – or a snack at any time in between. Here are a great idea to help you make sweet crêpes for the whole family…
The Crêpe Batter
Makes 8
Ingredients:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour (at Crepeaffaire, we use organic flour)
-
2 eggs
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Sweet Topping (decide quantity to taste)
-
Strawberries cut into large chunks
-
Double cream
-
Chopped almonds
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
-
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crêpe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
-
Cook the crêpe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.
For the sweet topping
Spread double cream over one half of the crêpe to taste, then lay out a few chunks of strawberry and sprinkle over the chopped almonds.
Fold the plain side over to cover these ingredients, fold in half again and then dust with icing sugar.
