Comment préparer Belgium Pancakes A K A Crepes

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
Add 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of water. Whisk until well combined. Alternatively, use an electric mixer for a smoother batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
If mixing by hand, strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. This step is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
Cover the batter and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours). This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender pancakes.
Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, quickly tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
