Thin Crêpes Recipe

These thin pancakes can be served with maple syrup, jam or even stuffed with a seafood, vegetable or meat preparation. It is not absolutely necessary to refrigerate the dough, but it is ideal for allowing the gluten in the flour to bind to the liquid ingredients. You can even prepare the dough the day before cooking.

Conservation

Stack the cooked pancakes, separating them with a sheet of waxed or parchment papers. Store in an airtight plastic bag. Pancakes will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer. To remove frozen pancakes from the stack without damaging them, the bag must first be allowed to stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes. To reheat the pancakes, simply place them side by side on a baking sheet and put them in the oven preheated to 180 ° C / 350 ° F /
