Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • micro grater
  • wide non stick pan
  • ladle
  • pastry spatula

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 360 millilitre full fat milk
  • 250 gram all purpose flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 80 gram unsalted butter
  • 2 mandarins
  • 120 gram mandarin marmalade

Instructions
 

for the batter

  • In a bowl whisk the eggs and caster sugar together. Add the milk and combine well.
  • Sift the flour into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until the batter resembles thick cream.
  • Melt the butter in a small pot and add 1 tablespoon to the crepe batter along with a pinch of salt.
  • Whisk well to combine and use a micro grater to add mandarin zest to the batter.
  • Cover the crepe batter with a towel and leave at a cool spot for at least an hour.

to cook the crepes

  • Heat a non stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush the surface of the pan with melted butter.
  • Add a ladle of crepe batter to the side of the pan. Turn the pan until the base is coated completely with a thin layer of crepe batter.
  • Cook the crepe until you see the edges are beginning to crisp and loosen from the sides. The base should be light golden.
  • Turn over and cook the other side for 20-30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes

storage & freezing
Crepes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I don't recommend it but you can freeze them as well for up to 3 months.
