Ingredients
🍚 150g (5.3oz) all-purpose flour
🍬 50g (1.7oz) granulated sugar
🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
🥚 200g (7oz) eggs (approximately 4 large eggs)
🧈 50g (1.7oz) unsalted butter (about 4 tablespoons)
🥛 500g (17.6oz) whole milk (2 US cups)
🥃 1 tablespoon dark rum (or 2 tablespoons for rum lovers)
🧈 Melted butter for the pan
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir them gently to ensure they are well-mixed.
2. Add Eggs - Break the eggs into the dry ingredients all at once. Begin mixing until the mixture becomes smooth. This step helps eliminate any potential flour chunks.
3. Gradually Mix in Milk - Slowly add a third of the whole milk into the mixture. Stir gently to avoid splattering. Continue adding the remaining milk in increments, always mixing until the batter becomes smooth.
4. Incorporate Butter and Rum - Melt the unsalted butter and carefully mix it into the batter. Lastly, add the dark rum for a delightful flavoring. Stir until everything is well-combined.
5. Preheat and Prepare the Pan - Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly coat it with melted butter to ensure the crepes do not stick.
6. Cook the Crepes - Pour a little less than 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the pan, swirling quickly to spread it out evenly for thin coverage.
- Cook until the edges begin to lift and the surface appears set and lace-like.
- Carefully flip the crepe to the other side and cook for a short time until lightly golden.
7. Repeat and Serve - Continue the process with the remaining batter. Once all crepes are cooked, serve them with your favorite fillings or toppings.
