crêpes
classic french crêpes are thin, delicate pancakes that can be filled or topped with anything from fruit and cream to cheese and herbs. perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
step 1: in a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, water, and salt. add flour and melted butter, then whisk until the batter is completely smooth.
step 2: alternatively, combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse a few times until smooth.
step 3: heat a lightly oiled frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
step 4: pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan for each crêpe. immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
step 5: cook until the surface of the crêpe is set and the underside is light brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
step 6: gently loosen the edges with a spatula, flip the crêpe, and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 1 minute more.
step 7: remove from pan and serve hot with your favorite sweet or savory fillings.

- Pro Tip
let the batter rest for 30 minutes before cooking for smoother, more tender crêpes. this allows the flour to fully hydrate.
