Basic Crêpes

 Ingredients

4 large eggs

1 cup milk, or more as needed

1 cup water

½ teaspoon salt or to taste

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons butter, melted 

Directions

1. Step 1

2. Whisk eggs, milk, water, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add flour and melted butter; whisk vigorously until batter is smooth and pourable. If the batter is too thick to spread easily in the pan, whisk in 1 tablespoon milk at a time until it reaches the proper consistency.

Step 2

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the pan, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crêpe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Step 3

Cook until the top of the crêpe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen the crêpe; flip and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more.

Step 4 

Serve hot. Enjoy!
