Basic 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

Additional butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

Prepare the Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs.

Gradually add the milk and water, stirring to combine.

Add the salt and melted butter, and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Rest the Batter:

Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flour to fully absorb the liquids, making the crepes more tender.

Cook the Crepes:

Heat a lightly oiled or buttered non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each crepe. Tilt the pan in a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, flip, and cook the other side.

Serve:

Serve the crepes warm with your favorite fillings. Popular choices include:

Sweet fillings: Nutella, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Savory fillings: Ham, cheese, spinach, or sautéed mushrooms.

Enjoy:

Fold or roll the crepes with the filling inside, and enjoy them as a delightful breakfast, dessert, or snack.

Crepes are versatile and delicious, and this basic recipe can be easily adapted to suit your taste!
