Ingredient:

2 cups (500 ml) flour
1 pop gingerale
7 dl milk
1 teaspoon sugar(optional because the pop already has sugar in it)
4 eggs
6 spoons of sunflover oil
½ teaspoon sea salt

Preparation:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and gingerale, stirring to combine. Add the oil; beat until smooth.

2. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the frying pan, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

3.Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.


Note:
Crepes can be wrapped around just about anything to turn it into an elegant meal, or just folded and topped with something yummy.You can fill the crepe with whatever you wish. My kids love the nutella filling the most. When it’s warm is great with maple syrup too. There is no limit what you can do with it! Use your taste and imagination.
