# Thin, golden homemade crêpes

A light, supple and lump-free crêpe batter for an easy weekend treat.

- **Prep**: 10 min
- **Cook**: 20 min
- **Rest**: 30 min
- **Difficulty**: Easy
- **Serves**: 10 crêpes

## Ingredients
- 200 g Plain flour
- 3.5 cl Dark rum
- 34 g Unsalted butter
- 2 Eggs
- 40 cl Semi-skimmed milk
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Neutral oil

## Steps
1. **Start the batter** — Put the 200 g of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. Make a well, add the eggs and whisk while gradually drawing the flour into the centre. Do not pull in all the flour at once. A thick mixture at this stage is normal.
2. **Add the milk, butter and rum** — Whisk in the 400 ml of milk in four additions, working from the centre outwards. Melt the 34 g of butter, let it cool for 1 minute, then whisk it into the batter with the 35 ml of rum. Whisk for about 30 seconds after each addition of milk. Strain the batter if a few lumps remain.
3. **Let the batter rest** — Cover the bowl and rest the batter for 30 minutes at room temperature. Stir it gently just before cooking. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time only if the batter has thickened noticeably. Resting hydrates the flour and gives more supple crêpes.
4. **Cook thin crêpes** — Heat the frying pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes and brush it with a little oil. Add a small ladleful of batter, tilt the pan immediately, cook the first side for about 45 seconds, then flip and cook the second side for 20–30 seconds. Brush the pan with another very thin layer of oil whenever the batter starts to stick. Stack the cooked crêpes under an upturned plate to keep them soft.
