Classic French Crêpes
Thin, delicate, and buttery French pancakes that can be customized with endless sweet or savory fillings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for sweet crêpes)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter for the pan
Instructions
1
In a blender or bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, salt, and vanilla. Blend or whisk until completely smooth. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes if possible.
2
Heat a non-stick crêpe pan or skillet over medium-high heat and melt a tiny bit of butter.
3
Pour a small ladle (about 1/4 cup) of batter into the center of the pan and immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
4
Cook for about 1 minute until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip and cook for 30 seconds on the other side.
5
Serve hot with your choice of fillings (e.g., Nutella, lemon and sugar, jam, or ham and cheese).
