Classic French crepes that are light, thin, and perfect for both sweet and savory fillings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Additional butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs.
  2. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine.
  3. Add the salt and melted butter; beat until smooth.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe.
  6. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
  7. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite fillings or toppings.

Notes

  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking for best texture.
  • Use a nonstick pan or a crepe pan for easy flipping.
  • Crepes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • Sweeten the batter slightly with sugar and vanilla if making dessert crepes.
