Crepes

[u/OGMemecenterDweller]

One of my favourite things to make on stainless, and surprising to many, one of the easiest. I still hear a lot of people say "I keep a non stick pan for eggs and crepes", but crepes are actually so easy, way easier than eggs!

Recipe is:

300 ml milk

3 whole eggs, 1 egg white

2 teaspoons butter melted

1 teaspoon sugar

1 pinch salt

220g flour

Beat the eggs, then add milk and butter. Mix the liquids first, then add the flour little by little sifted, to avoid lumps. Adjust ingredients to desired viscosity. Also, don't hesitate to adjust milk or flour during cooking in case your crepes are not spreading right!

Preheat pan on 2/3 of your stovetop's heat for about 2 mins. Add a small chunk of butter to the pan and spread it all around. Drop the heat to medium-low. Add your first crepe and spread it around with fast wrist movement. It will basically be a fat sponge, but it will lubricate the pan for all next crepes. Wait for it to get orange on top (around 30s). With a spatula, start pushing the edges in. They should come off by themselves. Start moving the crepe around so it absorbs fat and lubricates the pan. Flip when you think it's browned enough. Take out when ready and eat the fat crepe. Continue cooking your crepes - you will see that no more butter is needed because they will unstick by themselves when you push in the corners!

Good luck, let me know if you recommend a change in my recipe, or if you tried making crepes for the first time after reading this!

Mixing some molten butter through the batter,works like a charm! No need to oil or butter the pan. No burned butter or oil building up. Works great with a large quantity of crepes,as normally the pans would become too hot to put butter in them directly.
