Crêpes

Ingredients :

300gr of flour + 100gr of maïzena (10 full soupspoons) or 100gr extra of flour

1 pinch of salt

10g of baking powder

6 eggs

1/2 a litre of milk (or even a little bit more if you want them lighter)

6 full soupspoons of oil

3 full soupspoons of sugar

Preparation :

In a large bowl mix all the ingredients : flour, maizena, sugar, salt, baking powder, oil and eggs.

Make a large hole at the middle. Little by little, dilute the milk to obtain a really smooth and liquid dough.

You can add if you wish rhum, fleur d'oranger, vanilla,...

Tips :

- If there is lumps, use a collander.

- I use a food processor to go faster

- In terms of quantity, for 6 real french kind of crepe eaters i do double proportions.

- The dough can be frozen!
