Description

Classic French-style crepes that are thin, light, and perfect for both sweet and savory fillings. This versatile recipe is simple to make and great for any meal of the day.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs until well combined.
  2. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to form a smooth batter.
  3. Stir in the salt and melted butter until fully incorporated.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly.
  6. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes until the bottom is light golden brown.
  7. Flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.

Notes

  • For sweet crepes, add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the batter.
  • For savory crepes, consider adding chopped herbs like parsley or chives.
  • Use a good non-stick skillet for best results; a crepe pan is optional.
  • Let the batter rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight for tender crepes.
  • Stack with parchment paper and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
