Description
A simple recipe for classic crepes, perfect for sweet or savory fillings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like sunflower or canola)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- as needed Butter or oil for the pan
Instructions
- Blend the Batter: Start by adding the milk, eggs, oil, flour, sugar, and salt to your blender. Blend on high for 15–20 seconds until the batter is smooth and lump-free. It should have the consistency of heavy cream. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.
- Rest or Cook Right Away: If you have time, let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes (or even overnight in the fridge). This helps create a more tender crepe, but you can absolutely cook them immediately if you’re short on time.
- Preheat the Pan: Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or a neutral oil, and tilt the pan to coat evenly.
- Pour and Swirl: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, immediately swirling to spread it into a thin circle. Cook for about 1–2 minutes, until the edges look dry and start to lift.
- Flip and Finish: Gently loosen the edges with a spatula, flip the crepe, and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Repeat and Fill: Continue with the remaining batter. Serve your crepes warm with your favorite fillings—classic sugar and lemon, Nutella and banana, or a savory combo like turkey ham and cheese.
Notes
- For best results, allow the batter to rest before cooking.
- Fill with your favorite sweet or savory fillings.
- Keep crepes warm by covering them with foil as you cook.
