Ingredients
  

Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

Make the Batter
  1. Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  2. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until the batter is smooth, then stir in the melted butter.
  3. Cover the crepe batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
Cook the Crepes
  1. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter, tilting the pan to evenly coat the bottom.
  2. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the surface appears set, then carefully flip and cook for another minute on the second side.
  3. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate to keep them warm. Serve immediately with your desired sweet or savory fillings.

Notes

For best results, letting the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes allows the flour to fully hydrate, which results in more tender and pliable crepes.
