Buttermilk crêpes

If you haven’t read my story about my grandparents, you should. Then you’ll understand why I love cooking with buttermilk. I’m not a pancake lover, but crêpes — any day! Delicious with fresh whipped cream and jam.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unbleached, all purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp sugar
    ~

  • 2 cups buttermilk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup of melted and cooled butter

Instructions

  1. mix buttermilk, eggs, and butter together

  2. in a larger bowl, mix flour and sugar

  3. slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, whisking as you go

  4. whisk steadily until smooth

  5. chill for 1 hour

  6. heat flat pan on medium

  7. pour 1/4 cup of batter into hot pan and swirl pan to spread the batter into a thin layer

  8. flip when the first side starts to bubble

  9. remove from pan when the second side is golden

Notes

Instead of whisking, you can also use a blender, stand mixer with whisk attachment, or blender to make the batter smooth
