  • Stir in 100 g of flour and mix well.
  • Add 100 g of lukewarm milk as you continue to whisk the batter.
  • Gradually add the rest of the flour, milk, and warm water. Beat the batter until it is smooth and liquid, without any lumps.
  • Add vegetable oil to the batter, mix and leave it for 20 minutes. Don’t skip this step as it helps the batter become firmer. In 20 minutes whisk the batter again.
  • Preheat the skillet on high heat, reduce to medium, and brush it lightly with vegetable oil. You will need to do it only once in the beginning. Pour some batter with a ladle into the skillet and swirl it nicely until it covers the pan evenly. Keep the crepe on one side for one minute until the color changes to wax, then with a spatula flip the crepe over and fry it for an additional 30 seconds.1

Notes

Tip 1: Because the skillet has some excess oil, the first crepe will turn out to be thick. However, as you continue cooking the crepes, they will become thinner.
Now as your crepes (mlyntsi) are ready, you can prepare the fillings and stuff the crepes. Choose any of the following recipes, they all taste great!
