Thin, tender French crepes made in minutes and rolled around fruit jam.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
- 1/2 cup fruit jam (apricot, strawberry, or raspberry)
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Directions
- Whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and melted butter until smooth (a few small lumps are fine).
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brush lightly with butter.
- Pour in a small ladle of batter (about 3 tablespoons) and immediately swirl the pan to coat the bottom thinly.
- Cook for about 1 minute until the edges lift and the underside is golden, then flip and cook 20 seconds more. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Spread each crepe with a thin layer of jam, roll up or fold into quarters, and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
- Serve warm.

Adapted from Jacques Pepin’s famous crepes, which he loves to fill simply with jam.
