Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Crpes:

  • 200 grams plain flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 30 grams caster sugar
  • 3 large free-range eggs
  • 50 grams butter melted with solids removed
  • 250 milliliters milk
  • Butter for frying

For Serving:

  • 500 milliliters high-quality vanilla bean ice cream
  • 4 tablespoons Bitton orange jelly or maple syrup or honey

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the 200 grams of plain flour, 1 pinch of salt, and 30 grams of caster sugar. Whisk together to blend the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the 3 large free-range eggs. Add the melted butter and 250 milliliters of milk to the eggs, whisking until well combined. Gradually pour this mixture into the flour mixture, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place your non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Allow it to melt and bubble slightly.
  • Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot pan, swirling it around to create an even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the crpe using a spatula and cook for an additional minute on the other side. Repeat this process until all the batter is used, stacking the cooked crpes on a plate.
  • To serve, place a crpe on a plate, add a generous scoop of high-quality vanilla bean ice cream in the center, and fold the crpe over. Drizzle with Bitton orange jelly or your choice of maple syrup or honey. Enjoy!
