French crepes (thin pancakes)

Category: dessert or main course

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes



Ingredients:
Makes 15-20 pancakes
300g plain flour
3 eggs
3 tbsp sunflower oil
750ml milk
4 tbsp caster sugar






Preparation:
1. Mix the flour and the eggs and the oil, add the milk slowly, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or whisk, until a smooth mixture is obtained
2. Add the sugar and mix well
3. Heat up a frying pan, once it is very hot, reduce to a medium-high heat
4. Lightly grease the frying pan by rubbing it with a piece of kitchen roll soaked in oil 
5. Using a ladle, pour some batter into the centre of the hot pan, whilst moving the pan at different angles to ensure the batter flows and thinly covers the bottom of the pan (it is important not to put too much mixture otherwise the pancakes will be too thick)
6. After a minute or so, when the edges of the crepe start to lift away from the pan, it can be flipped over, using a spatula and left to cook a little more (30 seconds to 1 min) on the other side 
7. Once it is ready, place on a large plate and repeat the process from step 4. until you have used all the batter
8. Serve sweet (with either sugar, lemon juice, chocolate or jam, etc...) or savoury (with a choice of fillings like ham, eggs, cheese, tomatoes, onions, spinach, etc...)
