Steps
Crepes
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, mayonnaise and salt until smooth. If there are lumps pour through a sieve. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. The batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium to high heat. Grease the pan with butter.
- Scoop 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet, swirling the batter to create an even surface.
- Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown.
- With a spatula, flip and cook the other side for another minute.
- Keep warm in the oven, with sheets of parchment paper in between each crepe, until serving.
