Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sweet crepes)
- Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if making sweet crepes), and continue to whisk until smooth. - Rest the Batter:
Allow the batter to rest for about 15-30 minutes. This helps ensure a smooth and tender texture in your crepes. - Heat the Pan:
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Tilt and swirl the pan so the batter evenly coats the surface. - Cook the Crepes:
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip the crepe carefully and cook for another minute on the other side. - Stack and Fill:
Transfer cooked crepes to a plate, stacking them with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking. Fill with your desired fillings (sweet or savory) and fold or roll up before serving.
Enjoy the best crepes ever with your favorite fillings!
