Crepes are a popular breakfast and dessert treat all across Hyrule. A number of variations of crepes are made in different regions of Hyrule based upon the ingredients available. You can find someone eating the most basic form, the plain crepe, in most any village or stable across the kingdom. Anyone with bird eggs, Tabantha wheat flour, cane sugar, and fresh milk can whip these up at a cooking pot with ease. Topped with some goat butter, they are a delicious treat!
“The simplicity of this dish lets the flavor of its ingredients shine.”
To make the basic Hyrulean crepe, we are going to use a basic crepe batter. These will be fried quickly in a 10 inch pan, and then rolled and topped with a small pad of butter. Easy peasy!
Ingredients
1 cup flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 ½ cups milk
2 eggs
2 tbsp butter, melted
Cooking spray
1 stick of butter, cold (for serving)
1 cup flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 ½ cups milk
2 eggs
2 tbsp butter, melted
Cooking spray
1 stick of butter, cold (for serving)
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well to combine with a spoon or spatula. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk these together using a hand whisk or an immersion blender with a whisk attachment.
Add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use an immersion blender with a whisk attachment (or any electric mixer), to blend the dry and wet ingredients together. I recommend using a medium speed setting. Whisk until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated into the wet, creating a very loose batter that can be easily poured.
Once the batter is complete, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow it to rest on the counter for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, set a frying 10 inch pan over medium heat. Once the pan is warm, spray it with a little cooking spray to grease the bottom, then add ⅓ cup of the crepe batter. Lift the pan from the heat and swirl the batter around the pan until the bottom is fully coated.
Return the pan to the heat and allow the batter to cook for 60-90 seconds first side, until the crepe is cooked through, meaning there is no liquid batter remaining. To flip, slowly work a spatula under the crepe and press another spatula against it on top of the crepe. Now flip it over and lay it back in the pan on the other side. Fry the crepe for 30 seconds second on this side. Slide it onto a plate, and repeat the process until you have used all of the batter. You should get about 8-9 crepes total.
To serve a plain crepe, fold the crepe in half and then begin on the right side and slowly roll the crepe from the center and right corner. Roll the crepe tightly to about the halfway point of the arc. Cut a small pad of butter from the stick of butter and place it in the center of the crepe. Enjoy!
