Instructions

IMPORTANT | a few tips to get the best crêpes

Eggs should be at room temperature.
Spring water should be lukewarm.
Always start mixing from the center going outwards.
Make sure your pancake pan is hot enough.
The faster you tilt and rotate the pan, the better the crêpe batter spreads.
Place the cooked crêpes between 2 ceramic plates while cooking them - They will stay warm, soft and will not dry out. Enjoy!

DAIRY FREE CRÊPES PREPARATION

In a mixing bowl, add the lukewarm spring water together with the granulated sugar and vanilla bean paste. Mix until the sugar has melted.
Whisk in both eggs.
4.95 oz all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp granulated sugar, 1/16 tsp sea salt, 2 eggs
Add the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix until well combined.
Pour the sparking water ; here I use my favorite: San Pellegrino Zero Clementine & Peach flavored water. Give it a gentle whisk not to brake all the bubbles which will make your crêpes nice and airy.

COOK!

Heat your Pancake pan on a medium heat 5 minutes prior starting making your "Crêpes".
When ready, lightly oil the surface with a kitchen paper.
Pour one large scoop of batter at the center of your pan ; then right away tilt and rotate the pan in order to spread it uniformly.
Once one side is cooked, flip it over. Cook it for a few seconds more. NOTE: Remember to place each time the cooked crêpe between 2 ceramic plates so it stays soft and warm.
Serve as is or with your favorite filling ; Chantilly and fresh fruits is always a great option as well. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
