Foire Aux Questions
Do I really need to let the crêpe batter rest?
Yes! Let it rest for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (or in the fridge). This allows the starch grains to swell, making the crêpes softer and less brittle.
How do I avoid lumps in the batter?
Sift your flour, make a well, add the eggs in the center, then very gradually whisk in the milk from the center outwards.
Can I make lactose-free crêpe batter?
Absolutely. Replace cow's milk with oat or almond milk, and butter with coconut oil or margarine.
