Crepes or Danish Pancakes
How to make my favorite Danish Pancakes
Servings: 3 people
Equipment
- whisk
- small bowl
- spatula
- small nonstick pan
- measuring spoons
- measuring cups
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1⅛ cup milk
- ¼ stick butter melted
- ½ teaspoon sugar optional
Instructions
- First I helped my Dad collect all the ingredients because he said I was his sous chef.
- Then it is time to crack the 2 eggs into the small bowl, which he taught me how to do about 2 months ago.
- Now, for a little taste in the eggs you add a pinch of salt or ⅛ teaspoon of salt with the measuring spoon. Then I mixed, with a whisk, the salt and the eggs to make it fully yellow.
- Next, my favorite part is to add the flour but it you add too much it tastes not good at all. So to put the exact amount of flour in all you do is just get a regular scoop of flour. Then you get a dinner knife, turn it over so instead of the sharp part being down, it is up and you just move it a cross the measuring cup to even out the flour.
- Next, I added a bit of flour, then mixed it in with the egg and salt. Then do it again and again until there is no more flour. It will be pretty lumpy at first but it is fine.
- Now it is time to get rid of the lumps, so that is where the milk comes in. You do the same thing you did with the flour, you start with a little bit of milk and mix it in, then you add some more and mix it in, and more over and over again until the milk is gone.It should be pretty smooth, without any bumps.
- If you don’t have time to make the batter in the morning, make some the night before then put some saran wrap over the bowl and refrigerate it. You can also make the actual crepes but they taste a lot better fresh.
- Now get the small 8-inch pan and put it on the stove and put the stove on medium heat (all stoves have low, medium, and high). Now to tell that the pan is ready, flick a tiny bit of water and if it evaporates right away it is ready.
- Put only enough batter to fill the pan because too much batter makes them thick and it doesn’t work, but too little makes it rip. So just enough. The batter will start turning golden brown really quickly so don’t walk away! The first time you flip it, it will tear or fold over and it will be a mess but keep trying and it will get a lot better.
- Keep it in the pan for another 10 – 20 seconds then put it on a plate, put some jam or fruit inside, roll it up, put sugar on top and eat it. Yum! My favorite is strawberries with chocolate sauce. Make another and serve to someone and see how they like it and keep making them again and again! By the way this recipe can be doubled or tripled and it would work!
