Decoration Tips
To take these yogurt crêpes to the next level, consider folding or rolling them and serving with a dusting of powdered sugar for a classic presentation. You can also fill them with fresh fruit like bananas, strawberries, or blueberries and top with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup. For a more decadent treat, try spreading a thin layer of Nutella or melted chocolate inside before folding, and garnish with toasted nuts or coconut flakes. If you want to add a bit of sophistication, a drizzle of lemon juice and a sprinkle of zest would add a refreshing, citrusy contrast.
Ingredients:
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 2 plain yogurts (125g each)
- 3 fresh eggs
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 250ml water
- 1 tablespoon sunflower or neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar. Create a well in the center and add the eggs. Gently whisk the eggs into the dry ingredients, gradually incorporating them to avoid lumps.
- Add the Water and Yogurt: Slowly pour in half of the water, mixing until smooth. Add the yogurt and continue whisking until fully combined. Pour in the remaining water and the vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to improve. However, if you're short on time, you can use the batter immediately.
- Cook the Crêpes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan, swirling it around to evenly coat the surface. Cook the crêpe for 1-2 minutes on one side until the edges begin to lift, then flip it over and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.
- Serve: Serve the crêpes warm with your favorite toppings, whether it's fruit, whipped cream, chocolate, or simply a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
