Buttermilk secret: How to make the perfect delicate crepes

Crepes are one of the most popular dishes, not only in the US. Although every food lover has their preparation method, we will reveal a secret to make your crepes more delicate. Just replace milk with a particular ingredient.

Some enjoy French crepes, others prefer fluffy, small American pancakes, and yet others opt for versions without wheat flour. Crepes are a relatively simple and universal dish; they can be a dessert and, for example, a meal. Just replace the sweet filling with spinach, potatoes, or vegetables with meat, and a delicious, hearty dish is ready. It’s no wonder that people all over the world enjoy crepes.

The classic crepe batter uses eggs, flour, milk, and oil. Some people add carbonated water to make the crepes more delicate and fluffier. However, you can also add something else instead of water and milk.

It’s buttermilk. This makes the crepes not only tastier but also much more delicate. Try it once, and your family will surely love this milk-free version.

To prepare a slightly different version of crepes, you need two cups of flour, three eggs, two tablespoons of vegetable oil, and two cups of buttermilk instead of milk. First, combine the flour, buttermilk, and eggs in a bowl. Beat into a smooth batter by hand or using a mixer, and let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.

After this time, add the oil, mix, and fry in a well-heated pan until golden brown. The thickness of the crepes depends on your preferences. Then serve with your favorite toppings (or eat them plain—we guarantee they are delicious), and you're done.
