Preparation
Step 1
Use a 250 ml (1 cup) measuring cup. Use refined, odorless vegetable oil. Adjust sugar and salt according to your taste.
Step 2
Pour warm water into a mixing bowl - warm water helps flour dissolve. Add sugar, salt, and break in the egg. Whisk until smooth. No mixer needed.
Step 3
Pour vegetable oil into the bowl - it prevents sticking. Sift the flour with baking powder.
Step 4
Whisk well again to remove all lumps. The batter should be like drinkable yogurt. Add more water if too thick. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Heat a skillet over high heat. Brush with a little oil (only before the first crepe). Pour a portion of batter and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 6
Cook until golden on one side, then flip. Adjust the heat so they brown quickly but don’t burn. Remove cooked crepes to a plate.
Step 7
Serve hot with sour cream, honey, jam, or savory fillings like caviar or fish. Perfect for stuffing - thin and flexible. Enjoy!
