Earl grey crepe recipe

6 tbsp butter (85g)
3 cups milk (245g x 3 = 735g)
6 eggs
1½ cups all purpose flour (128g x 1.5 = 192g)
7 tbsp sugar (12.5g x 7 ~ 90g)
Pinch salt
Vanilla essence
3 earl grey tea bags

1.    Microwave milk with tea bags. Allow tea bags to soak and flavour to seep into milk.

2.   Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla in another medium bowl. Gradually add milk mixture to flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Add in melted butter. Pour through a fine sieve into an airtight container; discard lumps.

3.   Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight (omitted did not refrigerate).

4.   Lightly coat an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet with melted butter. Heat over medium heat until just starting to smoke. Remove pan from heat; pour about 2 tablespoons batter into pan, swirling to cover bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low; return pan to heat. Cook, flipping once, until edges are golden and center is dry, about 30 seconds per side.

5.    Slide crepe onto a plate (lined with baking sheet). Repeat process with remaining batter, coating pan with butter as needed. Crepes can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day. (Don’t stack crepes on top of each other)
