- 2 Cups Flour
1 Egg
1/2 Liter milk
4 Tbsp melted butter
2 Pinches of salt
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp rum
Method to Make the Batter
Sieve the flour with salt twice. Beat the egg. In a bowl, put the sieved flour, rum, sugar and the beaten egg. Mix slowly, adding milk gently, to avoid any lumps in the batter. Leave the batter for an hour to liven before cooking. To loosen the batter, you can use use beer , French wine or milk.
After an hour, heat a non-stick pan. Add a small quantity of butter and wait till you hear the sizzle sound. Pour a small ladle of the batter and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly in the pan. Reduce the flame and allow one side to cook. Now, flip the other side and cook for couple of minutes. If you have a stuffing, you can put it on the crepe and fold it into four. Else, you can roll it. Continue the same procedure to make crepes from the remaining batter.
