Traditional crepes

These make a tasty light meal and are ideal for using up leftovers as fillings, served with a side salad for a more substantial meal

Dish Details:clock


INGREDIENTS:

Batter:
130g wholemeal flour
70g plain flour
150ml milk
3 eggs

For cooking:
25g butter

Fillings

Savoury ideas:
Ricotta cheese and cooked spinach
Cooked salmon, canned asparagus (drained) and sour cream
Chopped fresh tomato and lean bacon topped with grated cheese and grilled for 5 minutes

Sweet ideas:
Banana and Greek yoghurt
Lemon and sugar
Apple sauce and peach slices


PREPARATION:
1. Combine the batter ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth (20-30 seconds). Leave the batter for 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.

2. Mix again for 2-3 seconds.

3. Heat a dry heavy bottomed non-stick pan until very hot, add a little butter (ideally use an oil brush to spread around the pan).

4. Pour about 1/6 of the batter into the pan, it will start to set immediately. If you are brave enough flip the pancake when sufficiently set to cook on the other side, but otherwise turn with a spatula.

5. Keep the pancake warm on a plate in a warm oven. Make the next pancakes and pile up on the plate. When all of them are cooked roll them round the filling of your choice and serve.
