Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces eggs
- 300 milliliters whole milk
- 30 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and add the salt; make a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well and whisk gently to incorporate the flour into the eggs gradually.
Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Stir in the melted butter, chopped chives, parsley, and tarragon until evenly combined.
Cover the batter and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the flavors to meld.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter (about 1 teaspoon) to lightly coat the surface.
Pour about 60 milliliters (1/4 cup) of batter into the pan, swirling it immediately to form a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to curl and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 minute until cooked through but not overly crispy.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed.
Serve the crepes warm as-is or fill them with savory ingredients like goat cheese, smoked salmon, or sautéed vegetables for a more substantial meal.
