Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Whole milk | 300g |

| Sunflower oil | 50g |
| Salt | A pinch |
| Ground turmeric | ยฝ teaspoon |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the sunflower oil, and then pour in the whole milk. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and well combined. The goal is to achieve a homogenous, lump-free batter. -
Let the Batter Rest:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to rest for 30 minutes. This step is essential as it helps the flour to hydrate properly, resulting in a more consistent batter and better texture in the crepes. -
Preheat the Pan:
After 30 minutes, take the batter out of the fridge. Give it a gentle stir. Now, heat a crepe pan (about 22 cm in diameter) or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of sunflower oil, using a paper towel to remove any excess oil. -
Cook the Crepes:
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the center of the hot pan. Swirl the pan gently to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook the crepe for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to lift away from the pan and the underside is golden brown. Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds on the other side. -
Stack and Serve:
Once cooked, transfer the crepe to a plate. Stack the crepes as you go, one on top of the other. This ensures they stay warm and soft.
Serving Suggestions:
These eggless crepes are perfect for any occasion, and they are incredibly versatile. Fill them with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet treat. Alternatively, for savory options, you can fill them with sautรฉed vegetables, cheese, or your favorite spreads.
Tips:
- Resting the Batter: Resting the batter allows the flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in a smoother batter and more tender crepes.
- Consistency: If the batter appears too thick after resting, add a little more milk to adjust the consistency to your liking.
- Cooking Temperature: Make sure the pan is at the right temperature โ too hot and the crepes will cook too quickly; too low, and they may become soggy.
These eggless crepes are a wonderful alternative for anyone avoiding eggs, whether for dietary reasons or preference. Theyโre quick, easy, and sure to satisfy your cravings for something light, fluffy, and utterly delicious!
