Ingredients for 18 pancakes:

150 grams of flour

2 teaspoons of sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt

600 ml of milk

3 eggs

3 tablespoons of salted butter

4 tablespoons of salted butter or cooking oil for frying

Fresh or mirelit strawberries, to taste

"Crêpe" is the French pancake step by step: 

• Assemble your ANKARSUM stand mixer with the whisk.

• Put the flour, sugar and salt in the mixing bowl, then start the machine on medium speed.

• Add 1/3 of the milk and mix with the machine until the dough is lump-free.

• Add the rest of the milk and the egg and mix until smooth.

• Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add to the dough.

• Let the pancake dough rest for 10 minutes.

• Now heat a normal frying pan, put 4 tablespoons of butter or oil on the bottom. Use a spoon, with which approx. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, then spread it in circular motions. Make a thicker batter than Hungarian pancakes. Fry for 1-2 minutes, then carefully turn with a spatula and fry for 1-2 minutes on the other side as well. Repeat this with the rest of the dough, using a little oil or butter to prevent the dough from sticking.

• Spread the hazelnuts and sliced ​​strawberries evenly on the dough, roll it up, then cut it into tasty strips and bites. Decorate the top with strawberries.

Anka tip:

For a crispier end result, let the dough rest for an hour before baking.
