Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
2. Cover the batter and let it rest for 15 minutes to ensure the crepes are tender.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil.
4. Pour a thin layer of batter (approximately 1/4 cup) into the skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly.
5. Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes on one side until lightly golden, then flip and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate and covering them to keep warm.
6. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
7. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked (approximately 7-8 minutes).
8. Stir in paprika powder, ground nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Let the spices cook into the meat for 1-2 minutes.
9. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the freshly chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
10. To assemble, place a generous spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each crepe. Fold the edges over to form a neat parcel or roll it up like a wrap.
11. Serve the crepes warm as-is or with your preferred dipping sauce or side salad. Enjoy!
