Instructions

In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, milk, water, vanilla and butter.
Sift in flour and salt and whisk all ingredients together until the batter is smooth. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
Heat a skillet with oil or butter on a medium high heat.
Add 1/4 cup of batter and swirl the batter in the pan forming a thin circular pancake. Cook for about 2 minutes and flip to cook other side.
Fill with ingredients of your choice.

Notes

This recipe makes about 15 crepes.
For an extra smooth batter feel free to use your blender. Just add the ingredients to the blender jar and pulse a few times.
If your skillet runs out of butter while you are making your crepes, add a little more. This will prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature and the flour is sifted before starting. This will ensure that your batter will be smooth and lump free.
