Simple Crepe Recipe
Mastering homemade crepes is easier than you think with this basic crepe recipe. Forget the mix; fresh batter is key for the best texture and flavor.
Essential Crepe Ingredients
For a perfect crepe batter, you'll need flour, eggs, milk, and a touch of melted butter or oil. A pinch of salt enhances the flavor. This simple crepe recipe yields about 8-10 thin crepes, depending on pan size.
Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add a pinch of salt. The batter should be thin, like heavy cream. Let it rest for 30 minutes for optimal results.
Heat a lightly oiled crepe pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center and swirl the pan to create a thin, even circle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden.
