Classic Crepes Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons melted butter
-
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
-
Mix the batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and melted butter, and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. -
Rest the batter:
Let the batter rest for about 15-30 minutes. This helps the flour fully absorb the liquid and makes crepes more tender. -
Heat the pan:
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. -
Cook the crepes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. -
Flip the crepe:
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Use a spatula to carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. -
Serve:
Remove and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
Serving ideas:
Fill or top with Nutella, fresh fruit, whipped cream, jam, powdered sugar, or savory fillings like cheese and ham.
