The Perfect Crepe Recipe: A Step-by-Step Guide

Ingredients You’ll Need
To whip up a batch of delightful crepes, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
• A pinch of salt
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar (if using), and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. For best results, let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
3. Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. Repeat: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and continue the process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
5. Serve: Crepes can be served immediately with your favorite fillings, such as fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, or savory options like ham and cheese.
