This simple crepe recipe takes only seconds to make in the Thermomix and is a versatile base for many savoury and sweet recipes. You will love it.

Crepes anyone? One of the simplest recipes out there, but also seems to be one of the trickiest to master for some people. With Thermomix to do the beating for you, it should be easy as bro.

Tips to remember;

Keep your batter as cold as possible
Preheat your frying pan for at least 10 minutes on a medium heat (Induction 6). You may have to turn it down just before you begin as it can get very hot, depending on what type of pan you are using.
Use plenty of butter to fry them in providing both taste and ease of cooking
Allow the batter to rest (in the fridge) for as long as you like...up to 24 hours
Add liquid to thin your batter if necessary as you proceed with cooking

Enjoy! (And then think of all the possibilities, the crepe stacks that litter my cookbooks liberally should have you salivating.)

Do

1: Place all ingredients into Thermomix bowl and blend 20-30 sec/speed 6.

To make Buckwheat Crepes for a gluten free option, replace plain flour with freshly ground buckwheat (1 min/speed 10) and add a little more liquid as required to create a runny consistency.
