Instructions
- Crack egg into a bowl and beat with a fork.
- Add milk and mix well.
- Add flour and salt and beat with fork until well blended.
- Let sit for 10 mins. to let the gluten form.
- Using a paper towel coat a shallow, non-stick frying pan with a thin layer of lard. Heat pan over medium heat.
- Holding the pan off the flame, pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of crepe batter into the centre of the pan and carefully rotate pan until batter covers the entire surface. Return pan to heat.
- When batter appears dry around the edge, gently loosen the outside of the crepe with a non-metallic spatula.
- As your spatula moves towards the middle of the crepe, gently lift the crepe and turn it over. Cook the other side for 10-15 secs until browned.
- Remove crepe to a plate and cover with a piece of parchment paper.
Recipe Notes
Since crepes are already balanced, adding proteins and fats, like meat, cheese and eggs can make this dish very low carb.
