Bonfire Swedish Crepes

Serving size: 7-8 people (4 people if really hungry)
Ingredients for Bonfire Swedish Crepes
Bonfire
5 cups of flower
1 Tbsp salt
5 1/2 cups of milk
6 eggs
2 Tbsp melted butter
8 Tsp regular butter
Maple Syrup
If desired, Bonfire Maple Syrup
Equipment for Bonfire Crepes
Small or medium size round pan
Tea strainer (or cheese cloth)
Whisk
Rubber spatula
Directions for Bonfire Crepes
In a pot, brew the milk up to 212 degrees.
Add 4 tsp of Bonfire and let it seep for 5 minutes
Tip: For this step we highly recommend using a tea strainer as it not only helps keep the loose tea leaves together, but is the easier method.
Once finished brewing, strain the milk using a cheesecloth, or if using a tea strainer, remove the tea strainer, and set the milk aside to cool.
In a large bowl whisk the flour and salt.
Once cooled, whisk in half of the milk.
Slowly whisk the melted butter and eggs.
Whisk the remainder of the milk - the batter should be thin.
On a medium size pan over high heat, spread 2 tsp of butter.
Using a ½ measuring cup, pour a very thin layer of batter onto the pan and carefully tilt your pan so that the entire surface is covered.
After 20 seconds, flip the crepe for another 10 seconds to let it finish cooking.
Repeat steps 8 to 10 until there's no remaining batter.
Tip: When waiting for batter to cook, frequently running a rubber spatula underneath the batter will help prevent sticking and will help when flipping
Optional: Add your favorite sweet toppings or Bonfire Maple Syrup.
