Here’s a basic recipe for Crepes:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
Instructions:
- Make the batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and milk until smooth.
- Add melted butter, salt, and sugar (if using). Mix until combined. The batter should be thin and smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid.
- Prepare the pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the crepes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the second side is golden brown.
- Serve:
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Tips:
- For sweet crepes: You can fill them with fruit, Nutella, or sweetened cream cheese.
- For savory crepes: Fill with ham, cheese, spinach, or any savory fillings you like.
- Storage: Crepes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Just reheat them in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Enjoy your homemade crepes!
