Basic Crepes Recipe
Description
To prepare Basic Crepes, eggs are combined with milk and water, and a bit of vanilla if a sweet crepe is desired. Sifted flour and salt are whisked in until smooth, and the batter is allowed to rest for 30 minutes to ensure any lumps relax and the batter thickens slightly.
The crepes are cooked individually in a well-oiled skillet over medium-high heat, using about a quarter cup of batter per crepe. The batter spreads thinly and cooks until set, then flipped briefly to cook the other side. The process yields thin crepes with delicate edges and a tender texture.
Finished crepes can be filled with desired ingredients, from fruit and sweet spreads to savory meats and vegetables. The recipe notes mention the batter can be made using a blender for smoothness, and that butter or oil should be replenished in the pan to prevent sticking during cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla optional - add when making a sweet crepe
- 2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
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

- Using a blender can help achieve an extra smooth batter.
- Apply additional butter or oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and sift flour for a lump-free batter.
