Crepes

I made crepes. Pannekoek in afrikaans. Here's my mom's trusted recipe.


You will need:

4 Eggs
1.25 Liter Water / 42.3 oz Water
250 ml Sunflower Oil / 8.5 oz Sunflower Oil
50 ml Vinegar / 1.7 oz Vinegar
5 ml Bicarbonate of Soda / 1 Teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
5 ml Salt / 1 Teaspoon Salt
525 g Cake Flour / 18.5 oz Cake Flour
20 ml Baking Powder / 4 Teaspoons Baking Powder

How to make it:

Whisk the eggs thoroughly.
Add 250 ml (8.8 oz) water, the oil, and the vinegar to the eggs.
Add the bicarbonate of soda, salt, and cake flour while adding the rest of the water.
The baking powder goes in last.

Your first crepe will always be a flop, so, don't worry about it... Use a little bit of oil to cover your pan. Set the stove's heat on 7/8. Pour the excess oil out of the pan. Pour about half a cup of dough onto the pan, moving the pan to cover the surface of the pan with the dough. Each crepe takes about 2-3 minutes.

If you do it right, this mixture makes 30 crepes. I did it wrong, I didn't get that many, mine were too thick.

Still delicious!
