French Crepes

Learn how easy it is to make classic french crepes! Light and soft with a crisp edge and buttery texture, they can be served sweet or savory.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup water (room temperature)
• 2 large eggs (room temperature)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted (plus more for greasing your pan))
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add the milk, water, eggs, and melted butter to a high-speed blender. Blend for 15 seconds, or until completely combined.
2. 2Add the flour (and any optional flavorings; see notes below) and pulse for an additional 10 seconds, or until any large dry clumps are gone. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
3. 3Place the crêpe batter in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. Chilling the batter helps absorb extra water, so the crêpes are thin and crisp. Don’t skip this step!
4. 4Heat a large (8-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When the pan is just warm, add about ½ teaspoon of butter to the skillet. You want just enough butter to melt and coat the skillet evenly.
5. 5When the butter has melted, pour ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan. As you pour the batter, tilt the pan into a circle. This will help the batter spread into an even circle. If you can’t get the hang of tilting the pan, don’t worry! Just pour the batter into a circle and shake the pan gently to spread the batter into a thin layer. They won’t be as perfectly round, but the crêpes will still be delicious.
6. 6Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the crêpe is golden brown around the edges and on the bottom side. Then flip the crêpe and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
7. 7Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining crêpe batter, adding more butter to your pan as needed.
8. 8Serve with your favorite fillings.
