Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, low-fat milk, egg whites, water, sugar, and salt until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the batter is resting, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Step 3
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the melted butter and whisk until fully combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
To cook the crepes, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with some of the remaining butter.
Step 5
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom in a thin, even layer.
Step 6
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the underside is lightly browned.
Step 7
Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 1 minute on the other side.
Step 8
Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little butter to the pan as needed.
Step 9
To serve, drizzle each crepe with the lemon butter sauce and sprinkle a touch of powdered sugar on top.
Step 10
Roll up the crepes or fold them into triangles and enjoy immediately.
