THE BEST LEMON SUGAR CRÊPES RECIPE

www.lechefswife.com

Lemon sugar Crêpes (Crêpes Citron Sucre) is one of my favorite treats in France. One bite and I am immediate transported to this little Crêperie in the old town of Nice. The zing of the lemon matched with the sweetness of the sugar and the heavenly buttery richness of the Crêpe is the perfect combination.

- Flour - Milk - Eggs - Lemon - Granulated Sugar

Ingredients

STEP 1

Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl with the milk. Sift 1 cup of Flour into the egg & milk mixture. Whisk together until smooth. For flavor I like to add in some lemon zest. Prepare a Crêpe pan (or simply a non-stick frying pan) with a pat of butter on medium-low heat and then spoon a small ladle full of batter onto the pan as you swirl the pan around to make a thin, round Crêpe. There should be just a paper thin layer of batter over the pan.

STEP 2

When the batter starts to bubble, it is time to give a quick flip with a spatula. Cook until golden. I like to have 2 pans going at the same time for efficiency . Pile up the cooked Crêpes as you go on a cookie sheet in the oven (set to the lowest heat possible) so that they stay hot. I like to add a fresh pat of butter to the pan for each Crêpe.

STEP 3

Serve once you have made Crêpes with all the batter so that you can actually sit and enjoy with your family. To make the lemon sugar Crêpes I recommend laying the Crêpe flat on the plate, sprinkling one teaspoon of granulated sugar over the top as well as a squeeze of lemon juice.
