Ingredients
 

  • 1.41 oz (40 g) butter (Melted for brown butter)
  • 9.88 oz (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 0.53 oz (15 g) corn starch
  • 0.71 oz (20 g) sugar
  • 1/16 tsp (0.38 g) sea salt
  • 23.28 oz (660 g) milk
  • Honey (To serve)

Instructions
 

BROWN BUTTER PREPARATION

  • Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on medium until melted. Then, continue to heat until there are no more bubbles coming up and the whistling has reduced (about 5 minutes). Pass your brown butter through the sift. Set aside.
    1.41 oz butter

CRÊPES PREPARATION

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, corn starch, sugar and salt. Make a well, add the cooled brown butter and milk. 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!
    9.88 oz all-purpose flour, 0.71 oz sugar, 1/16 tsp sea salt, 23.28 oz milk

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 with a drizzle of honey or with your favorite topping. Bon Appétit!
