As you likely know, searching for recipes (written in English) online tends to find a far greater proportion of recipes designed for USC, or using metric cups/spoons, such as those from Australian sites. Occasionally, I get lucky with some UK sites that specify quantities in grams.

Today I was looking for some crepe recipes and, as usual, all the recipes I found said cups of flour, ounces of milk, etc. Then I had a thought.

Since I wanted to make the French style crepes, I translated "crepe recipe" into french using Google translate, went to google.fr and searched for "recette de crêpe". And every recipe had the quantities listed primarily with grams, litres, and only a few ingredients listed with "cuillère à soupe" (seems to be the french name for a 15 mL tablespoon). I found quite a few recipes to try out, but the recipes I looked at tended to have the following.

• 500 g plain flour
• 1000 g milk
• 6 to 8 eggs (depending on size). I guess this is aiming for between 300 and 400 g of eggs.
• 40 to 75 g oil (some recipes omitted this entirely, other specified this as a volume in tablespoons or centilitres.)
• pinch of salt

Some had slight variations including additional ingredients for flavour.

If I have time, I'll do some experimenting on the weekend and see what works out best. Maybe I'll have to have a crepe party or something.
