Instructions

Crepes

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and flour until smooth. Pour in the milk while stirring, then add the oil and salt.

  • Preheat a 11 inch pan or crepe pan until it is sizzling hot, keeping the heat at medium-high. Spray the pan with oil, but just this once. You don't need to do this for the remaining crepes, as the batter already contains enough oil.

  • Lift up the frying pan with one hand and pour the batter in with the other, rotating it carefully to evenly distribute the batter. Once the bottom is cooked, flip the crepe by lifting the edges with a fork carefully. After a few seconds, transfer the crepe to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Meat Filling

  • In a separate skillet, melt one tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onion and sauté until it is soft and lightly golden.

  • Transfer the mixture to a food processor or pass it through a meat grinder (using the fine plate). Pulse or grind until the mixture is creamy but still slightly textured — do not puree completely.
