Instructions
- First, gently melt the butter in the microwave and set aside to cool - I place it in the fridge for a few minutes to speed up the cooling.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- Next add the flour and salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and no lumps of flour remain.
- Optional, yet recommended: If you have time, cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes. This will help the flour absorb the moisture and result in a thinner, more tender crepe. If you’re short on time, skip this step – the crepes will still be delicious!
- Heat a 12” non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease the skillet very lightly with melted butter or nonstick cooking spray. I like to dip a basting/pastry brush in melted butter to evenly coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour a scant ½ cup of batter into the center of the pan and then very quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter out to the edges. Keep tilting the pan until the batter spreads out and evenly covers the entire bottom of the pan.
- Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or just until the edges start to curl back and turn golden brown.
- Flip the crepe and cook for another minute, or until golden brown on the second side.
- Repeat with the remaining crepe batter and enjoy. Check out the many variations below and in the post for how to make these into sweet or savory crepes.
Notes
- For sweet crepes, I like to add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the crepe batter in step 1.
- For savory crepes, I like to add ¼ cup of very finely grated parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of finely minced parsley to the crepes.
- For flavor variations, refer to the post for an extensive list.
