TO MAKE THE CREPE BATTER

Add the sugar, melted butter, coarse salt and eggs into a mixing bowl.

Beat all the ingredients together, gradually adding the wheat flour and half a glass of milk until you have a smooth dough with no lumps remaining.

Next, stir in the rest of the milk.

Let the batter stand for at least 1 hour before cooking.

TO COOK THE WHEAT CREPES ON THE CREPE MAKER

Cook the crepes on an electric crepe maker pre-heated to 210°C or a gas crepe maker set to 2/3 of its maximum power.

Flip the crepe over as soon as the edges start to curl up.

Add a knob of butter to the crepe, sprinkle with sugar and drizzle with the juice of half a lemon.

Chef’s tips and suggestions : for a stronger lemon flavour, you could add some lemon zest to the batter. Fancy some delicious icing? When making the crepes, replace the butter and sugar with icing sugar that you mix with lemon juice.
