Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk until fully blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow any bubbles to settle.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to lightly grease the surface of the pan.
Once the pan is hot, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, then quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe carefully using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding additional butter to the pan as needed between crepes.
Serve the Lattyja warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, jam, whipped cream, honey, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. For a savory option, fill with cheese, smoked salmon, or sautéed veggies.
