Crepes are a versatile and delicious French dish that can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients. Here is a simple recipe for making crepes at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus additional for cooking)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, and melted butter. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Heat a non-stick crepe pan or a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
- Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, ladle a small amount of batter into the center of the pan. Use the spatula to quickly spread the batter out in a thin, even layer.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and pull away from the pan. Flip the crepe with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed.
- Once all the crepes are cooked, you can fill them with your desired sweet or savory ingredients. Some popular options include Nutella and fresh fruit, or ham and cheese.
- Fold the crepes in half or roll them up, and serve immediately.
With this recipe, you can make delicious, homemade crepes that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a dessert. Enjoy!
