Ingredients

3 large eggs
100 g caster sugar
20 g golden maple syrup
8 g table salt
500 g wholemeal or buckwheat flour
175 g salted butter, melted
1 litre whole milk
dash of Calvados or brandy (optional)
extra butter for cooking

For the salted maple syrup caramel

4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
100 ml amber maple syrup
100 g salted butter
200 ml double crème
2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

To cook the crêpes

In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar and maple syrup then add half the milk and whisk.

Add flour, salt and melted butter and stir until smooth. Add the remaining milk and Calvados.

Heat a frying pan on medium and melt a knob of butter until it bubbles. Using a ladle, pour batter into the centre of the pan and swirl to evenly coat the base.

Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

To serve, place crepe onto a warmed plate and fold in half, then half again.
