This comes from a cookbook that belongs to my son Mark and is based on the movie Ratatouille.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
- Put all the ingredients in a blender in the order listed and blend until smooth. Remove the lid and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Briefly blend the mixture again. Set the covered blender in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
- When it is time to cook the crepes, use a paper town to spread about 1 teaspoon of butter or vegetable oil in the bottom of a 8 or 9 inch shallow frying pan and place over medium heat. Blend the batter again to smooth in.
- For the first crepe, pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into a measuring cup to gauge how much to use. For the rest of the crepes, pour approximately that much batter right from the blender. Cook each crepe.
- Pour the batter into your heated pan, well to one side. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom. This should take about 5 seconds.
- Cook the crepe on the first side for about 45 seconds, the quickly flip it with a spatula and cool the other side for about half as long.
- Swiftly invert the pan so the cooked crepe will fall into a large plate. Rub a little butter or cooking spray on the pan before cooking the next crepe.
The cookbook has been a favourite of Mark’s for years and was a great introduction of him to cooking with a minimum of intervention and help from me. If you can find a used copy and have younger kids, I would pick up a copy.
