Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup flour 125 g
  • 3 tablespoon melted butter 43g
  • 2.5 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse for 10-15 seconds until well combined. Chill batter in fridge for one hour or up to 48 hours.
  2. After chilling, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Place a little butter in the pan and swirl around to coat. Pour around 2 tablespoon (about 1 ounce) of batter in the pan and swirl to evenly coat the pan in a thin layer. Cook for 30 seconds or until edges dry up, and flip. Cook on the other side for 10-15 seconds until crepe has cooked through.
  3. Keep going until all the batter is finished.
  4. Enjoy filled or topped with your favorite toppings of choice, see post above for inspiration!

Notes

  • Recipe from Alton Brown.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor, an electric whisk, or whisk very vigorously by hand.
  • To make a savory version of crepes, omit the vanilla and sugar, and add a pinch of salt and optionally 1/4 cup of fresh chopped herbs of choice. Fill with cheese, eggs, mushrooms and/or spinach, turkey ham, anything you can think of!
  • Storing leftovers: You can store crepe batter in the fridge for up to 48 hours, making this great for a make ahead breakfast. You can also store cooked crepes for 2-3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely before storing in the fridge or freezer.
