Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour Provides structure while keeping the crepes tender.
- 2 large Eggs Contributes richness and helps bind the ingredients.
- 2 cups Milk Adds moisture and creates a smooth batter.
- 2 tablespoons Melted unsalted butter Adds flavor and prevents sticking.
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar Optional for sweet crepes.
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar (if using), and salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly. Then, add the milk and melted butter to the eggs, whisking until combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. Eliminate any lumps.
- Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan and swirl to spread evenly.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden. Flip and cook for another minute.
- Remove the crepe and stack on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
