Crêpes with beer

Prep Time: 10 min / Cook Time: 10 min / Total Time: 20 min

These are crêpes from the North of France so there is beer in the batter (no, no, don’t close the page) and the crêpes are de-li-cious. You can barely taste the beer but it gives such a light and soft texture to crêpes, once you try it you can’t go back.

This recipe is time-tested, foolproof and you won’t have any problem flipping your golden brown crêpes. You can make the batter the night before and be sipping a cup of café au lait while cooking crêpes in the morning.

Crêpes with beer

Yield: 20 crepes

Ingredients

Ingredients for crepes:

250 gr flour
3 eggs
40 gr butter (melted)
400 ml light beer
300 ml water (or milk)
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil for frying

Instructions

If you have a blender, then just beat everything in it, leave the mass on the table for half an hour, and fry.

If you don’t have a blender but have a fork and a container for dough, then the sequence of mixing the ingredients is important.

So that there are no lumps. Not much harder, but important.

Mix water, eggs, salt, and flour to make a thick dough. Add butter, and stir until smooth. Add beer. Now - leave the dough for half an hour on the table and then fry on a well-heated frying pan, periodically greasing with oil.

That's all
