Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/3 cup club soda (not flat)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons butter (roughly, for frying)
1 1/2 tablespoons oil (roughly, for frying)

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until well combined. Mix in the club soda.
Add the flour and salt and stir with a whisk until only a few lumps of flour remain.
Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. As the flour is absorbed by the wet ingredients, the batter will smooth out.
Once rested, stir the batter until smooth (though a few lumps are ok) to prepare for cooking the crepes .
Heat an 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet. Add 1 of the teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon of the oil.
Add about 1/4 cup of batter to the pan, tilting and swirling so it covers most of the bottom of the pan.
Cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip over and brown the second side. Remove to a platter.
Continue with the cooking process, adding the remaining butter and oil as necessary-probably every third crepe. Stack the cooked crepes to keep warm. Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

To make the perfect mushroom filling, use a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. Chop them finely and sauté them in butter until they are soft and golden brown.
For a crispy crepe, use a well-seasoned crepe pan or skillet. Heat the pan over medium heat and brush it with butter before pouring in the batter.
Cook the crepes for about 2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
To make the crepes easier to fold, fill them with the mushroom filling while they are still hot.
Serve the crepes immediately, topped with sour cream, chives, and a sprinkle of paprika.
