How to make it
- Mix the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt.
- Gradually pour in the mineral water, whisking until there are no lumps left. Stir in the oil.
- Leave the batter to rest for 10 minutes. If it has thickened, gradually add another 30–50 ml mineral water. It should flow easily and spread in a thin layer.
- Heat a 22 cm non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. The batter contains oil, so grease the pan only if necessary.
- Pour in 50–60 ml of batter at a time and swirl the pan. Cook until the surface turns matt and the edges come away from the pan, about 60–90 seconds.
- Turn the crêpe over with a spatula and cook for another 30–45 seconds. Adjust the heat so the crêpes brown without burning.
- Stack the crêpes on top of each other and cover them so they stay soft. Serve with jam, fruit preserve or fresh fruit, as you like.
