1️⃣ Prepare the Crêpe Batter (The Golden Wrapper)
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, turmeric, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter/oil until well combined.
-
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free. It should be thin, like heavy cream.
-
Pro-Tip: Cover the batter and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crêpes! 🛌
