Crepes are a staple of French cuisine, appreciated for their simplicity and sweetness. However, making crepe batter<\/strong> can be tricky, especially if you want to avoid lumps. Fortunately, it’s possible to prepare a smooth, homogenous crepe batter without using a mixer, simply by following a few simple tips.<\/p>\n

You probably have one or more crepe recipes that give you complete satisfaction, but you may have problems with the batter making lumps. We’re all looking for a silky, smooth crepe batter<\/strong> on the first try, without having to put it through a mixer or strainer.<\/p>\n

For one reason or another, you may not have any equipment other than a mixing bowl and a whisk. This is the case for students or when you’re on vacation. <\/p>\n

Since adopting the following solution, my batter has been perfect without any lumps and without the need for any special equipment.<\/p>\n

For the crepe recipe, I love Pierre Herm\u00e9’s ultra-soft cr\u00eapes<\/strong>.<\/a> I’d try others, but so far, these are the best. You’ll find more on the blog, which I’ve listed at the end of the article.<\/p>\n

Mix dry ingredients <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Start by sifting the flour into a large mixing bowl and adding the sugar, salt and vanilla sugar if your recipe contains any. Mix together. If, like me, you use a vanilla pod, we mix the seeds into the milk.<\/p>\n

Preparing the liquid ingredients<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In a bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the milk (and water if your recipe contains  ), eggs and vanilla seeds to obtain a homogeneous liquid.<\/p>\n

Melt the butter in a small saucepan. <\/p>\n

Form a well in the middle of the flour, then gradually pour in half the liquid mixture, mixing constantly with a circular motion in the center with the whisk. The flour gradually collapses in the center.<\/p>\n

\"secret<\/p>\n

Tap the sides of the bowl to help the flour fall into the middle, always working from the center outwards.<\/p>\n

\"Tip<\/p>\n

Once all the flour has been perfectly incorporated, you should obtain a smooth, homogeneous, lump-free batter as shown below. \"zero-lump<\/p>\n

Then, add the remaining milk and egg mixture and mix well.<\/p>\n

Finally, add the warm, but not hot, melted butter and mix until well incorporated.  You can flavour your batter to taste.<\/p>\n

Your crepe batter is silky smooth and lump-free<\/strong>. If you still get lumps, which you won’t if you follow the step-by-step instructions, give the batter a whirl with a mixer or pass it through a fine mesh strainer.<\/p>\n

Cover the bowl and leave to stand for 30 min to 2 hours, depending on your recipe. I usually leave for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.\"lump-free<\/p>\n

Once the resting time has elapsed, cook your crepes and serve them with the topping of your choice.\"cooking<\/p>\n
