Preparation of the dough
Quantity: approximately 25-30 crapes
Ingredients:
4 cups of white flower
4/5 cups of milk
1 table spoon of sugar (without a top)
1 tea spoon of salt
2 table spoons of butter
2 eggs
10-12g of yeast
Procedure: preparing the mixture
- Get a bowl for approximately 4 liters of water [the dough will rise so you want the extra space].
- Put the flower in to the bowl preferably through a thinner [this will allow the flower to get more oxygen].
- In the same bowl put sugar, salt and the yeast.
- In a second bowl pour milk and button. The milk must be warm but not boiling enough for the butter to melt.
- Pour the milk with butter in to the bowl with the flower + break both eggs in to the mix.
- Mix the contents well eliminating any pockets of dry flower.
- Cover the bowl with a towel [not a iron pan or a plate – the mix needs to absorb oxygen] and put in a warm area for approximately 1.5 – 2 hours.
- The mix should increase in size by approximately 2/3.
- Add additional 1/2 a cup of milk to the mix [heated to approximately 50 degrees in Celsius]. Pour the milk using a thin flow while slurring the mixture.
- If the mix is ready begin cooking.
- If you want to have thinner crapes add more milk to the mix.
Procedure: making the crapes
- Melt a block of butter in a separate cup/bowl.
- Get a pan or two [two would make the cooking much quicker].
- Heat both pans to a sizzling state.
- Using a potato/onion slice a half and put it on a fork [this will be used as a brush to apply butter on to the pan].
- Pour the mix on to the pan and start baking.
- When the crape is done and stacked in the main plate quickly smear a touch of butter on top so that the following crapes don’t get stuck together.
- Cover your results to keep the warmth.
And that’s it.
Enjoy!
