Lemon Crepes
Servings: 4 | Time: 10 minutes active; 30–40 minutes inactive | Difficulty: Moderate
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
- 1/4 tsp. (1.5 g) salt
- 5 drops lemon essential oil
- 2 Tbsp. (28 g) butter, melted
Instructions:
- Whisk together the flour and the eggs in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk and water. Stir in the salt and melted butter; whisk until smooth while adding essential oil.
- Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter for each crepe onto hot pan. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Cook each crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Flip, and cook the other side.
- Serve crepes warm filled with your choice of fruit, yogurt, or granola, and top with whipped cream.
