Makes ± 18 – 20 crêpes (± 6 per recipe variation) 

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes 

Ingredients:

Crêpe batter:

  • 4 extra large eggs
  • 550ml milk
  • 250g flour 
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter 
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of sea salt 

Neutral oil, for cooking 

Method:

  1. For the batter- combine eggs, milk, flour, melted butter, sugar and salt. 
  2. Whisk together until smooth. (Or for ease and speed, use a blender and blend until smooth.)
  3. Heat a 24cm non stick pan over medium heat. 
  4. Lightly grease with a paper towel dipped in neutral oil. 
  5. Pour in 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter, swirling and tilting the pan to spread batter in a thin, even layer.
  6. Cook for about 20 seconds. Using a thin spatula, lift one edge of the crêpe. Grab that edge with your fingers and flip the crêpe. Cook on the second side for 10 seconds, then transfer to a plate. 
  7. You want the crêpes lightly golden brown, do not overcook or they will become dry. 

 

3 fun ways to serve them: 

Goldcrest Granadilla, Crème Fraîche & Goldcrest Honey 

Spread each crêpe with a dollop of crème fraîche. Drizzle over a generous amount of Goldcrest honey. Fold the crêpe up into quarters. Spoon over Goldcrest granadilla pulp and serve. 

Goldcrest Pitted Black Cherries, Whipped Cream & Icing Sugar 

Whip cream with a little honey or icing sugar to sweeten. Add a dash of vanilla paste if desired. Fold crêpes and dollop with whipped cream. Top with halved Goldcrest black cherries. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
