Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a blender, combine 1 cup flour, 1.5 cups milk, 2 eggs, 2 tbsp melted butter, 1 tbsp sugar, and 0.5 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature. It should be the consistency of heavy cream; if too thick, whisk in 1-2 tbsp water.

  3. 3

    Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter the pan, then pour in about 1/4 cup of batter, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

  4. 4

    Cook until the edges look dry and the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Loosen with a spatula and flip.

  5. 5

    Cook the second side for 30-60 seconds until lightly spotted with brown. Slide onto a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes.

  6. 6

    Serve warm with your favorite fillings like lemon and sugar, jam, or Nutella.
