Choux Pastry Buttermilk Crepes are soft, chewy, and versatile crepes made with a smooth, silky batter that results in a tear-free texture. These crepes can be filled with either sweet or savory fillings, making them perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the Crepe Batter:

3 eggs

1 tbsp sugar

3 cups buttermilk

3 ⅓ cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

¼ cup oil

1 ½ cups whole milk (boiling hot)

Instructions

  1. To make the batter in a blender: Blend 3 eggs, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 3 cups buttermilk, and 3 ⅓ cups flour until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix 1 ½ cups hot milk with 1 tsp baking soda and add it slowly to the blender, then blend in ¼ cup oil. Skim foam and rest the batter.
  2. To make the batter by hand: Whisk 3 eggs, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 3 cups buttermilk, and 3 ⅓ cups flour until smooth. Mix 1 ½ cups hot milk with 1 tsp baking soda, then add it slowly to the batter. Add ¼ cup oil and whisk well. Skim foam and rest the batter.
  3. To cook the crepes: Heat a skillet, oil it lightly, and pour batter in a crescent shape. Swirl to cover the bottom and cook until no wet spots remain. Flip and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
  4. Serve: Fill crepes with sweet or savory fillings and serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute the buttermilk with plant-based milk and non-dairy oil.

If using regular milk, add 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar to make it act like buttermilk.

Resting the batter helps improve texture and makes flipping easier.
