    Crepe question

    I am trying out a new crepe recipe tonight, one that calls for melted butter. It says to add it after the batter has rested for a little bit (10-20 minutes). I'm making the batter now, to cook in a few hours. Do I add the melted butter just before I cook the crepes, or in about 10-20 mins, and put the batter with the butter (lol!) in the fridge for another couple of hours? Does it make a difference which way around I do it?

    TIA

    I usually just add my butter at the same time as my other liquids but if I was going to add it alter I would do it 10 minutes after adding the milk and egg then let it sit.

    Yum. I love crepes. They're a weekend breakfast staple in our house.

    Oooer. I don't have any butter in my crepe recipe.

    I normally keep it in the fridge till right before I need it (at least an hour) this gives a better crepe, and is lacey.

    I hoped it'd be you two that would reply, lol!

    Thanks Onyx - in goes the butter now... Leftovers will be breakfast, by the way!
    Rouge - my normal crepe recipe doesn't have melted butter either, but it's Date Night and we're having A Night in Paris theme, so I thought I'd try and be a bit authentic...

    Nawwww you sound like me We've done A night in Paris date nights too.

    I'm so lazy with crepes, I've had too many disasters. I blitz my batter in the blender too *shhhh*

    Totally not authentic *giggle*

    I don't think it matters much how you mix it together as long as it can sit before it gets cooked.

    It might separate out a bit overnight but just give it a quick stir in the morning and it will be good to go again.
