Description:

These versatile crepes serve as a delightful canvas for a myriad of savoury fillings. Inspired by Eileen Reece’s French cooking, consider filling them with tantalizing options like mushrooms, spinach, or ham and walnuts for a truly delectable experience!

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Flour
1 Egg
1 pinch Salt
1 tbsp Butter
1 cup Milk
2-3 tbsp Cold Water

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • Sieve the flour into a mound in a mixing bowl, creating a well in the centre.
    • Crack the egg into the well, add an extra yolk, a pinch of salt, and whisk with a wire whisk.
    • Gradually incorporate the milk and 1 tablespoon of cold water until a very fluid paste forms.
    • Melt the butter and mix it into the paste.
    • Allow the mixture to rest in a cool place for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
    • Stir the batter well before use, adjusting its consistency with 2-3 tablespoons of cold water if it thickens while standing.
  2. Cook the Crepes:

    • Heat a small frying pan over medium heat.
    • Use buttered paper to grease the pan, then pour a large tablespoon of batter into it.
    • Quickly rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly over the bottom.
    • Cook for approximately 1 minute until the edges begin to lift and the underside is lightly golden.
    • Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for another minute until lightly golden.
    • Keep the cooked crepes warm between two plates over a pan of simmering water while you cook the remaining batter.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Fill these delicate crepes with your choice of savoury fillings, such as sautΓ©ed mushrooms, wilted spinach, or a combination of ham and crunchy walnuts.
  • Roll them up or fold them into quarters for an elegant presentation.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of creamy sauce for added flair.
