Method
Crepes
1. Place the flour in a large bowl and make a hole in the centre for your egg. Whisk the egg into the flour and then gradually whisk in the milk to form a smooth batter.
2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan (or pancake pan). Pour in half a ladle of the batter, spread to thinly coat the base on the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes. Flip over and cook for 2 minutes. Repeat to make 8 pancakes.
Caramelised Peaches
3. Heat the butter in a large frying pan. Add the peach wedges and fry for 3 minutes/ until they begin to soften and turn golden. Stir through the honey and sprinkle over the brown sugar. Continue to cook for a further 4 minutes until sticky and glazed.
4. Place 2 crepes on a large plate, top with your caramelised peaches and a scoop of Oppo Salted Caramel ice cream. Drizzle over any leftover sauce in the pan from your peach.
