Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter: Begin by cracking the egg into a mixing bowl and whisking it until well-beaten. Gradually add the milk, pouring it in slowly while continuously stirring to combine. This process ensures a smooth, lump-free batter. Once the milk is fully incorporated, add the whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside to rest for about 15-20 minutes.
-
Heat the Pan: Place a crepe pan or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for a minute or so. Once hot, add a small amount of butter to lightly grease the surface. You can use a paper towel to spread the butter evenly across the pan’s surface.
-
Cook the Crepes: Pour a small amount of the batter into the center of the pan, tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly across the bottom in a thin layer. Cook the crepe for about 3 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift away from the pan and the bottom turns golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
-
Serve: As each crepe is finished, stack it on a plate. Continue this process until all the batter is used up, and serve your warm whole wheat crepes with your favorite filling or topping.
Tips for Perfect Crepes:
- Be sure not to over-mix the batter, as this can make the crepes tough. A light whisking will do the trick!
- If you prefer extra crispy crepes, you can slightly increase the cooking time, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Experiment with fillings! These crepes pair wonderfully with fruit, honey, yogurt, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a sweet treat.
Enjoy these light and flavorful whole wheat crepes as a delightful dessert or a delicious breakfast option. Perfect for any time of day!
