Believe it or not, crepes are incredibly simple to make. If you can make a good pancake, you can make a good crepe. The ingredients are almost the same, and an elegant stack of crepes looks and tastes super impressive. Bonus? You don’t feel like a dense blob after you’ve eaten just one (you know that pancake feeling I’m talking about). 10 servings Ingredients: 4 tsp. Melted butter 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour 1/2 tsp.

    The classic French crepe is a food item that needs little introduction. Believe it or not, crepes are incredibly simple to make. If you can make a good pancake, you can make a good crepe. The ingredients are almost the same, and an elegant stack of crepes looks and tastes super impressive. Bonus? You don’t feel like a dense blob after you’ve eaten just one (you know that pancake feeling I’m talking about).
    01 Information
    • Grade easy
    • Serving 10 servings
    • Prep Time 10 Mins
    • Cook Time 30 Mins
    • Total Time 40 Mins
    02 Ingredients
      • 4 tsp. Melted butter
      • 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
      • 1/2 tsp. Salt
      • 4 Eggs
      • 1 cup Cold milk (2% or homogenized)
      • 1 cup Cold water
    03 Method
    • Step 1
      Put the liquids, eggs and salt into a blender or food processor, followed by the flour and butter.
    • Step 2
      Cover and blend at high speed for one minute, pausing if needed to scrape the sides down with a rubber spatula.
    • Step 3
      Pour batter into a bowl and let sit covered in the refrigerator for at least one hour (two hours or overnight is ideal).
    • Step 4
      When ready to cook, heat your crepe pan on medium heat (no higher) for a few minutes or until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates immediately. Rub your crepe pan with the slightest touch of butter.
    • Step 5
      Holding the wooden plateau in your dominant hand, pour one soup ladle full of batter with your non-dominant hand into the center of the pan. Slowly move the rate in a circular motion to distribute the batter evenly around the pan, paying particular attention not to catch the edges.
    • Step 6
      Once the edges of your crepe start curling (after about one minute of cooking), flip the crepe with a spatula or delicately with your hands (I prefer this method, but be careful not to burn yourself).
    • Step 7
      Cook lightly for about 30 seconds on the other side or until small light brown speckles form. Slide the finished crepes onto a plate and keep warm by covering them with a clean dishtowel until ready to serve. Alternatively, you can keep them warm in a warm oven (no hotter than 200 degrees F).
    • Step 8
      Fill with your favorite ingredients (or set some out for guests to choose their own) and serve immediately.
