Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 125 g plain flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 300 ml semi skimmed milk
- sunflower oil (for greasing)
- Strawberries
- Bananas
- Blueberries
- Lemon
- Nutella
- Chocolate spread
- Golden syrup
- Cookie butter
- Sugar
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl and sift in your plain flour
- 2
Make a small well in the centre and add the egg and egg yolk
- 3
With a large whisk, start whisking the eggs into a small amount of the flour whilst also pouring in the milk slowly. You will end up whisking a small area, and then gradually as more milk is added, taking a larger circle and gradually whisking in more flour each time - this prevents a lumpy mix!
- 4
Leave the mixture to set for at least 15 minutes or so (I do 30 minutes).
- 5
Prep your Crepe Maker or pancake pan etc so that its ready to go (follow the instructions on the Crepe Maker instruction sheet)
- 6
Heat your pan to about a medium heat, and heat the maker to a medium-high heat. I use a little sunflower oil to grease the pan/maker!
- 7
Ladle in some of the mixture to the pan and spread evenly. (I used 3 ladles worth from the maker, as its a small ladle, but if using my home ladle I used 2/3 of it as its quite big!)
- 8
Leave the crepe to cook on one side fully - it can take up to 2 minutes depending on how well your plate is heating, but can take as little as 30 seconds.
- 9
Once the first side is cooked, carefully slip the spatula underneath it to loosen it and flip the crepe over - continue to cook until cooked through (Can take the same amount of time as the first)
- 10
Once the crepe is cooked, remove to a large plate and continue making the rest - or eat as you go!
- 11
Top them with whatever you want, I gave a list of my favourites - but they can be sweet or savoury!

Enjoy!
