Preparation
- First of all, but the 250 grams of flour in a mixing bowl. Make a small well in the center of the bowl with the flour.
- Then place the 3 eggs one after the other in this hollow. The eggs do not need to be separated. Then mix the eggs and flour vigorously with a whisk.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar and the sachet of vanilla sugar to the mixture. Mix well again.
- Now add the warmed butter to the mixture and stir well.
- Finally, gradually add half a liter of milk. It should now be a very liquid, even mass. If there are still lumps in the batter, continue stirring. If you like, you can add some sugar, grated lemon peel, cinnamon, or salt.
- In the next step, a pan is preheated to the highest level and butter is melted in it. After the butter has spread throughout the pan, gently wipe the pan with a kitchen towel so that the butter is no longer visible. Then turn the heat down to medium-high.
- Now the batter can be poured into the pan. However, the very little batter should be put into the pan so that the crepes are light. After about 2 to 3 minutes, the crêpes can be carefully turned. Of course, the duration depends on the heat. If you prefer browned crêpes, you can of course leave the crêpe in the pan longer. After flipping the crepe, brown it on the other side for about 2 minutes.
- Finally, before you take the crêpes out of the pan, you can already spread them with Nutella. Because if you opt for a chocolate filling, the crêpes will taste better if the Nutella melts in the pan on top of the crêpes. Then the crepes can be rolled or folded in the pan.
- Other ways to flavor the crepes are cinnamon and sugar, cream and church filling, chocolate and banana filling, powdered sugar, or even regular sugar.
