French Crepes Recipe
French Crepes are thin pancakes made with a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and melted butter, optionally sweetened with sugar. Chilled batter is cooked in a lightly buttered pan, producing delicate, light crepes that can be flipped easily. Served with Nutella and berries, these crepes have a smooth texture and mild flavor that pairs well with sweet fillings.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar optional but recommended
- 4 egg large
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons butter melted plus extra for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour and salt, set aside.
- In another medium bowl whisk together the eggs and milk, plus sugar if using. Whisk well.
- Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture, a quarter at a time, whisking together after each addition until smooth.
- Add the melted butter and stir until combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
- Place a medium non-stick frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat.
- Using a kitchen brush, brush the pan with melted butter and pour in about a ¼ cup of crepe batter.
- Tip the pan around to spread the batter evenly and cook for about 30 seconds to a minute, or until the top has set, then flip the crepe using a spatula or your hands, and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Serve the crepes filled with Nutella and berries on the side.
