Classic Crepe Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Preparation

1. Mix the Batter:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs.
• Gradually incorporate the milk and water, stirring until well combined.
• Add the salt and melted butter, then beat until the mixture is smooth.

2. Heat the Skillet:

• Lightly oil a griddle or frying pan and heat over medium-high heat.
• Pour or ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each crepe.
• Tilt the pan in a circular motion to ensure the batter evenly coats the surface.

3. Cook the Crepes:

• Cook each crepe for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom turns light brown.
• Use a spatula to loosen the edges, then flip the crepe and cook the other side.

4. Serving:

• Serve the crepes hot, garnished with powdered sugar and fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
• Additional toppings like whipped cream, Nutella, or your favorite spread can be added.

Tips:

• Ensure the batter is smooth and lump-free; using a blender can help achieve this.
• The skillet should be sufficiently hot to cook the crepes quickly without burning them.
• Don’t worry if the first crepe isn’t perfect; it often takes one or two tries to get the temperature just right.
