Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1.5 cups of milk until well combined.
4. Create the Batter:
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Stir in the melted butter and mix until you achieve a smooth batter. For extra smoothness, you can blend the mixture using a hand blender.
- Leave the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps to relax the gluten in the flour, resulting in more tender crepes.
- In the same skillet, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the surface. Allow the sugar to melt and caramelise slightly over medium heat.
- Once the sugar has melted and turned a golden color, add the lemon juice and zest. Stir until well combined.
- Carefully spoon the caramelised lemon mixture over each crepe, folding or rolling them as desired.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a bit more sugar over the top of the crepes before serving.
- Enjoy your delightful crepes with caramelised lemon and sugar!
Tips:
- Preparation: Let the crepe batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the bubbles to subside, so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking.
- Cooking: Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned crepe pan to ensure your crepes cook evenly and can be flipped without tearing.
- Technique: Pour the batter into the center of the pan and quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. This ensures your crepes cook evenly and remain delicate.
- Lemons: When caramelising the lemons, be careful not to overcook the sugar as it can quickly turn from caramelised to burnt. Keep a close watch and remove from heat as soon as it reaches a golden brown color.
With a little practice, making crepes at home can be easy and rewarding. This recipe for crepes with caramelised lemon and sugar is a wonderful way to elevate your breakfast or dessert offerings. The tangy lemon pairs beautifully with the subtly sweet, buttery crepes for a dish that feels indulgent yet fresh. Enjoy your homemade crepes with a drizzle of extra caramelised lemon syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for that extra touch.
