Pancake Recipe: How to Make Crepes

Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl from a height and make a well in the center.

Crack the egg into the well along with half the milk and whisk together, gradually drawing in flour from the sides to make a smooth, thin batter.

Gradually add the remaining milk, beating until smooth, and leave to stand for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to its lowest setting.

Place a frying pan on the stove on medium-high heat and add a knob of butter, making sure it coats the pan.

Ladle about 3 tbsp of batter into the center of the pan and tilt to cover the base thinly.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbles appear, then slide a pallet knife underneath and flip over.

Continue cooking for 30 seconds or until golden.

Remove the crepe and transfer to a plate, keeping warm in the oven.

Repeat this process until the batter has been used up.

Serve the crepes hot, sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice, or with other toppings like maple syrup, chocolate sauce, or pieces of fresh fruit.
