Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to culinary success. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful dish:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for sweet crepes
- Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar for sweet crepes
Feel free to substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist or use almond milk instead of regular milk for a dairy-free version. As my mom always said, “A recipe is a guideline, not a rule.”
Instructions
Ready to embark on this crepe-making adventure? Follow these steps to create your masterpiece:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine until smooth.
- Add the salt and melted butter; mix well. This batter should be thin, akin to heavy cream.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe.
- Tip and rotate the pan to spread the batter as thinly as possible.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes on one side, until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden brown. Flip with a spatula and cook the other side for another minute.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Stack them with a sheet of parchment paper in between if you’re making a lot.
Pro tip: If your first crepe is a bit of a flop, don’t worry. That’s the cook’s treat! As my dad always said, “The first pancake is for the chef.” It’s all part of the process.
