Preparation

How to prepare Crepe without butter

To prepare crepes without butter, pour the whole eggs into a bowl 1 and beat them with a whisk 2. Gradually pour in the milk 3.

Add a pinch of salt 4 and the extra virgin olive oil 5, continuing to mix with the whisk 6.

Now incorporate the sifted flour through a sieve, a little at a time 7, always mixing with the whisk to avoid lumps and obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter 8. Pour a little oil into a pan with a diameter of approximately 7 inches 9.

Remove any excess oil with a kitchen paper 10. Pour a ladle of batter 11 to cover the bottom 12.

After about a minute, keeping the flame medium, you will notice that the edges will begin to detach from the pan and will be slightly golden, flip the crepe with a spatula 13 and cook it on the other side 14. Transfer the crepe to a plate, stacking them one on top of the other (15). The crepes without butter are ready, and you can choose to serve them sweet or savory.

Storage

The crepes without butter can be stored in the refrigerator wrapped with plastic wrap for 2 or 3 days.

If you want to keep the crepes longer, you can also freeze them, then defrost them in the refrigerator before using them. You can freeze them all together or separate them with a sheet of parchment paper so that you can take out one at a time.
