Easy Crepe Batter

I had this thought that Crepe is very serious and hard cooking and not a chance in the world I can make it. When my kids used to tell me that one of our babysitter used to make crepe for their breakfast, I was thinking did I had those ingredients in the house? Since I nerve looked up the ingredients for the crepe, I was being hard on myself and thinking kids had fun with her and I suck since I can not fulfill their desire to have crepes for breakfast. So one day I look it up and I was what that's it? I can do it since I know how to make dosa, this is nothing. So Just whip the ingredients in a blender, heat up the pan and had the ladle full of batter in it and voila in less than 30 seconds, the first crepe is out and the joy on my daughter's face is worth it since then she makes a point to have crepe once a day in weekdays. It's not that hard and anybody can do it. I just make this in the morning for breakfast so just spread Nutella and peanut butter but if you want to make it fancy for dessert, have some strawberry cream and sprinkle some powder sugar and make it nice. I don't have time to do all this in the morning so just sharing it basic recipe and leaving fancy ideas for you all.  This recipe is perfect for 6 crepes with one spoonful of batter.



Ingredients : 

1 cup Whole Milk
1 Large Egg
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup AP flour
1/8 tsp Salt
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Method : 

Take all the ingredients in a blender and blend it for 30 seconds. Leave it for 5 minutes.

Heat a nonstick pan and put it on slow to medium flame, you don't want your pan very hot otherwise it will burn very quickly, so slow is the key.

Add one full ladle batter in the pan, and tilt the surface of the pan so it spread evenly on the pan.

Cook the crepe on the first side until it easily released when you run a spatula around all of the edges. Loosen the entire crepe with the spatula before attempting to flip.

Flip the crepe and you can use the spatula to smooth it incase it wrinkled while flipping. Continue to cook on the second side until golden brown spots from.

This will be done in less than 30 seconds so you don't have to move anywhere, just stand in front of it.

Once its done, put it on a cooling rack for a minute and then apply Nutella or peanut butter or anything you like. 

Repeat for the rest of the batter and if you have leftovers you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge and when you want it just heat it up in the toaster oven or pan and enjoy it again.
