Easy pancake recipe

Here's a simple, easy-to-make crêpe recipe for delicious, gourmet moments, ideal for accompanying La Halle des Gourmets products, such as chestnut cream in a tube or old-fashioned hot chocolate fromAngelina Paris.

Simple and easy pancake recipe

Ingredients (for about 15 pancakes)

  • 250 g flour (T45 for light pancakes)
  • 3 eggs
  • 500 ml whole milk (for a softer texture)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (+ a little for the pan)
  • 1 tablespoon amber rum or vanilla extract (to taste)

Steps

  1. Prepare the dough:
    • In a large bowl, sift the flour to avoid lumps.
    • Add a pinch of salt and the sugar (if using).
    • Make a well in the center and break the eggs into it.
    • Mix gently, gradually incorporating the flour.
  2. Add the milk:
    • Drizzle in the milk while mixing with a whisk or spatula. This ensures a smooth batter.
  3. Add the flavourings:
    • Add the melted butter and rum (or vanilla extract) to flavor your pancakes.
  4. Resting the dough :
    • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to absorb the liquids, making your pancakes more pliable.
  5. Cooking :
    • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter.
    • Pour in a small ladleful of batter, tilting the pan to distribute it evenly.
    • Cook for about 1 minute, until the edges begin to pull away. Flip and cook for a further 30 seconds.
  6. Garnish and enjoy:
    • Serve the crêpes hot, accompanied by a gourmet topping: chestnut cream, melted chocolate, jam, or a touch of truffle for a daring sweet-and-sour version. Discover our selection for Chandeleur.

Chef's tip:

For even lighter pancakes, replace 100 ml milk with 100 ml sparkling water or lager. The batter will be lighter and deliciously fluffy.

Offer the gourmet experience:

Add a La Halle des Gourmets signature accompaniment: hot chocolate Angelina for the perfect snack, or truffle potato chips for a surprisingly chic version.
