I don’t know about you, but with me, crepes are synonymous with comfort food and sharing. It reminds me of my childhood, the evenings with my friends or family. It’s also the recipe that i made when I do not want to waste the end of the milk bottle in the fridge. During the lockdown, I was able to experiment with a few associations. There is one that has me much more than the others. A recipe with a mixture of milk and buttermilk.
Buttermilk for extra softness
In my recipe I replace half the milk with buttermilk. If you don’t have one, no problem! Just add 2 tablespoons of lemon or vinegar to the milk. Wait about 15 minutes and then stir well. Your « buttermilk » is ready!
