Scallion Crepes

8 ingredients
12 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons very finely chopped trimmed scallion greens
  • 1 tablespoon Asian (dark) sesame oil
  • Nonstick spray, melted butter, or more sesame oil for oiling the crepe pan

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the eggs, sugar, and salt in a bowl and whisk until the sugar and salt dissolve.
  2. 2
    Whisk in the milk and 1/2 cup of water to blend well, then add the flour and whisk just to mix.
  3. 3
    If the batter looks lumpy, strain it into another bowl.
  4. 4
    Whisk in the scallions and sesame oil.
  5. 5
    The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream.
  6. 6
    If it is too thick, thin it with a little more water.
  7. 7
    Lightly spray a 5-inch crepe pan with oil (or brush it with a little butter or more sesame oil) and heat over medium heat (when the pan is hot enough, a drop of water placed in it will evaporate in 2 to 3 seconds).
  8. 8
    Off the heat, add 2 tablespoons of the crepe batter to the pan all at once.
  9. 9
    Gently tilt and rotate the pan to form a thin 4-inch round crepe.
  10. 10
    Return the pan to the heat and cook the crepe until lightly browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning with a spatula.
  11. 11
    As the crepes are done, stack them on top of one another on a plate.
  12. 12
    For best results, spray the pan lightly with oil between crepes.
