Ingredients

  • 250 g All-purpose flour (Sift if possible)
  • 3 pcs Eggs (At room temperature)
  • 500 ml Whole milk (Lukewarm to avoid lumps)
  • 30 g Melted butter (Let it cool slightly)
  • 2 c. à soupe Granulated sugar (Optional, adjust according to filling)
  • 1 c. à soupe White rum (Provides the characteristic aroma)
  • 1 c. à café Vanilla powder (Optional, for extra flavor)
  • 150 g Jam or chocolate spread (Choose a dark or bright color for contrast)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients

    Sift the flour into the bowl, add the granulated sugar and vanilla powder. Mix lightly.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Make a well and incorporate the eggs

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, crack the eggs into the well and begin mixing gently with the whisk.

    Time: PT3M

  3. Add the melted butter, rum and lukewarm milk

    Pour in the melted butter, rum, then the lukewarm milk gradually while whisking vigorously until a smooth batter forms.

    Time: PT7M

  4. Rest the batter

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.

    Time: PT10M

  5. Prepare the pan

    Heat the non‑stick pan over medium‑high heat until very hot. Lightly brush with melted butter using the small glass.

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: Medium‑high heat

  6. Fill the small bottle

    Transfer some batter into the small plastic bottle using a spoon or a funnel.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Cook the first crepe (base)

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: Medium heat

  8. Cook the lacy crepe

    In the same very hot pan, gently press the bottle to draw a fine lacy pattern on the surface. As soon as the pattern becomes opaque (about 10‑15 seconds), flip quickly and cook another 5‑10 seconds.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: High heat

  9. Assembly
