Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 10 crêpes
Ingredients
  • 30 g / ⅛ cup butter
  • 30 g / ⅛ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 40 g / ⅓ cup chestnut flour
  • 60 g / ⅓ cup wholemeal flour or another flour of your choice
  • 150 ml / ½ + ⅛ cup milk of your choice
  • Small pinch of salt
Optional
  • Vanilla extract
  • Orange zest
Preparation
  1. Melt the butter, add the sugar and the egg and mix well until the mixture will reach a foamy texture.
  2. Add the milk and mix.
  3. Gradually add the sieved flours, mixing constantly.
  4. Add a small pinch of salt and, if you like, the vanilla extract and the orange zest.
  5. Heat a small frying pan or, if you possess one, a crêpe pan, add a little butter and pour some of the batter on it so that a thin layer would cover the whole pan. When the side of the crêpe facing upward will be matte looking, flip the crêpe, wait for up to a minute and repeat the process till you’ll have used all the batter. Remember to grease a little the pan every time before adding the batter so that it won’t stick.
  6. These crêpes can be served both warm and cold. Fill them as you please. I’d recommend orange chocolate ganache, orange marmalade, apple jam, chestnut honey or hazelnut spread.
