Looking for the ultimate crepe batter recipe? You’ve come to the right place! This foolproof preparation guarantees light, golden, and deliciously fragrant crepes. Perfect for a successful Chandeleur (French crepe day) celebration or an indulgent brunch, it’ll win everyone over with its ideal balance of tenderness and delicacy.

Ingredients (makes 15 crepes)

  • 300g flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 50g melted butter
  • 5 cl rum
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 60 cl milk

Kitchen Tools

  • 1 ladle
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 crepe pan
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 kitchen scale
  • 1 skillet

Preparation (10 mins)

Step 1

Place the flour in a large bowl and create a well in the center.

Step 2

Add the whole eggs, sugar, oil, and butter to the well.

Step 3

Mix gently with a whisk while gradually adding the milk. This crepe batter recipe should produce the consistency of a slightly thick liquid.

Step 4

Add the rum for flavor.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick pan and very lightly oil it using a paper towel. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, spread it evenly, then wait until it’s cooked on one side before flipping. Cook all the crepes this way over low heat.

Chef’s Note:

Eco-Friendly Tip from GoodPlanet: Replace cow’s milk with plant-based milk—oat milk is one of the most sustainable and locally-sourced plant milks available! For instance, try this crepe batter recipe with oat milk for a delicious and environmentally-conscious twist.
