Instructions
 

CRÊPES PREPARATION

  • Place butter in a small sauce pan. Heat on low until the butter has melted. Set aside.
    0.71 oz butter
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar and salt. Make a well, add the eggs, the cooled melted butter, milk and rum. Start mixing from the center going outwards taking a little bit of flour at a time. NOTE: This is the secret to get a batter with no lumps!
    8.82 oz all-purpose flour, 1.06 oz sugar, 1/16 tsp sea salt, 4 eggs, 17.64 oz milk, 1 Tbsp Dark Rum

REST

  • Cover the batter with a plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (I left mine to rest about an hour).

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 towel and pour one large scoop of batter in your pan, spreading it over while moving your pan into a gentle circle.
  • Once one side is cooked, flip it over. Cook it for a few seconds more. Then, serve to enjoy as is or with your favorite topping. Bon Appétit!
