Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- ½ cup lukewarm water
- 1 cup warm milk
- 4 large eggs
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for sautéing)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Add the lukewarm water, warm milk, eggs, melted butter, flour, granulated sugar, and sea salt into a blender in the order listed. Blend on low speed until the mixture is smooth and combined. Set aside for a few minutes to allow bubbles to settle, ensuring a uniform texture.
- Heat the Pan: Melt a small amount of butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Using two skillets can speed up the cooking process if desired.
- Cook the Crepe: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Fill any gaps with more batter to form a thin, even layer. Cook until the edges are golden and the crepe is set.
- Flip the Crepe: Use a thin-edged spatula to carefully flip the crepe. Sauté for an additional 30 seconds or until the second side is golden brown. Then transfer the crepe to a clean cutting board.
- Repeat & Serve: Repeat the batter pouring and cooking process with the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed. Once all crepes are cooked and have cooled to room temperature, stack them ready for filling or serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Letting the batter rest improves texture and reduces bubbles.
- To keep crepes warm, stack them and cover with foil.
- Crepes can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients depending on preference.
- The batter can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
