🌾 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour, Generic
🍬 1 Tablespoon Sugar, Generic granulated sugar
🧂 1 Teaspoon Salt, Generic
🥚 1 Egg, Optional, generic
🧁 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder, Arm & Hammer Double Action Baking Powder
🌱 1 Pack Yeast, Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast
💧 4 1/2 cups Warm Water
🧈 Desired quantity, Butter, Land O Lakes Unsalted Butter
🍯 Desired quantity, Honey, Golden Blossom Honey Genuine Natural Pure Honey

Instructions

1- Prepare the Batter:

In a large OXO mixing bowl, combine semolina flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and yeast.
If you opt for it, add in the egg.

2- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually pour 4 1/2 cups of warm water over the dry ingredients.
Mix continuously with a wooden spoon until a smooth liquid batter forms, ensuring no lumps remain.

3- Blend for Smoothness:

Transfer the mixture into an Oster blender or food processor.
Blend for 30 seconds, ensuring a smooth and lump-free consistency.

4- Rest the Batter:

Return the batter to the mixing bowl.
Cover it with Glad Press'n Seal plastic wrap, and allow it to rest in a warm place for 15-30 minutes to activate the yeast.

5- Cook the Crepes:

On low heat, warm a cast iron crepe pan.
Using a pink/black-handled ladle, pour a scoop of batter onto the pan, spreading it slightly to form a thin circle.

6- Observe and Remove:

Cook each crepe for about 2 minutes on one side without flipping.
Look for numerous holes forming on the surface, indicating it's ready.
Carefully remove with a spatula and place on paper towel-lined plates to cool.

7- Prepare the Sauce:

In a small stainless-steel pan, melt the desired amount of Land O Lakes butter over low heat.
Stir in the desired amount of Golden Blossom Honey until well combined.

8- Serve:

Dip the crepes into the warm honey and butter sauce and indulge yourself.
