Ingredients
- 7 Tbsp (100 g) butter (Melted | Brown Butter)
- 35 1/4 oz (1 l) milk (Lukewarm)
- 3 1/4 cups (400 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp (35 g) sugar

- 4 eggs
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) orange blossom water
Instructions
CRÊPE 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 5min). Pass your brown butter through the sift. Set aside.
- Place milk in a medium sauce pan and heat on low until lukewarm. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar and salt. Make a well and add the eggs. Gently start mixing inwards going outwards with your mini whisk. Add the warm milk, a splash at a time while continuing mixing. Finally, add the cooled brown butter and orange blossom water. Mix until it is all incorporated.
REST
- Let your batter rest covered with a plastic wrap at room temperature for about an hour.
COOK!
- Heat your Pancake pan on Medium 5 minutes prior starting making your "Crêpes" and slightly oil the surface with a kitchen towel.
- Pour one large scoop of batter in your pan, spreading it over with your spatula.
- Once one side is cooked, flip it over. Cook it for a few seconds more. Then, serve. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
