Basic Crepes

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

This is how the recipe appears on allrecipes.com but I took the advice in some of the comments and actually mixed all the wet ingredients in first, then added the flour and salt. It made the batter much smoother and seemed more practical. Also, I added a little bit of vanilla and sugar to make them more of a dessert crepe.

They turned out pretty good, it just took a while to get the hang of flipping a crepe…it’s not as easy as it looks!

I served them with strawberries and whipped cream, but you can really use anything!
