- Combine egg, flour and milk, and whisk until smooth (or blitz in a blender). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, not too hot. Add a little oil or butter to coat the pan.
- If making crepes, pour in approximately 3 tbsp of mixture and swirl around the pan to the edges. If making pikelets, pour in 1 tbsp of mixture per pikelet.
- Place pan back onto the heat and wait for bubbles to form on the outside rim. When the bubbles have formed on 60 per cent of the crepe/pikelet, flip and cook the other side briefly. Repeat with remaining batter.
