How to Make All Purpose Dinner Crepes Batter

  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed for 1 minute.
  2. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender. Blend for another 15-20 seconds, or until completely smooth.
  3. Cover the blender and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for optimal flavor).
  4. **To Cook:** Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. (You may not need oil if using a well-seasoned crepe pan).
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface.
  6. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin, 6-8 inch circle.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
  8. Using a thin spatula, gently flip the crepe and cook for another 30-45 seconds on the other side.
  9. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate, covering it with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Repeat with remaining batter.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite savory fillings or stack and freeze for later use.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
