Crepes are delicate, thin French-style pancakes that can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients. Whether you go for Nutella, fresh fruit, or peanut butter, they’re a versatile and elegant dish for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Additional butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Refrigerate the batter for 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Heat a sauté or crepe pan and lightly grease with butter.
  4. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan.
  5. Immediately lift and swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly.
  6. Cook for 1 minute, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds or until lightly golden.
  7. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding butter between each crepe.
  8. Fill with desired toppings (e.g., fruit, spreads, or preserves), then fold or roll.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Chill the batter: This improves texture and prevents tearing.
  • Swirl quickly: Thin, even spreading is key to perfect crepes.
  • Butter between batches: Ensures flavor and prevents sticking.
  • Make ahead: Batter can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • Storage: Keep cooked crepes in the fridge for 1–2 days; reheat gently.
  • Freezing: Layer with parchment paper and freeze up to 4 months. Thaw overnight and reheat in a pan.
