Here is an easy way to make crepes: Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk (warmed)
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil for the skillet

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and water until you get a smooth, slightly thick batter.
  2. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  3. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and brush with about half a teaspoon of oil.
  4. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet and tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly.
  5. Cook until the batter is mostly set, then flip the crepe and cook the other side until golden brown. Adjust heat as needed.
  6. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more oil between crepes as needed. Stack cooked crepes on a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm.
  7. Fill, fold, or roll the crepes with desired fillings, then serve.

This recipe makes about six thin, delicate crepes ready for sweet or savory fillings.
