How to Make Amazing Easy Basic Crepes

  1. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
  2. Add 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, omit for savory crêpes), and a pinch of salt. Whisk until completely smooth.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled 7-8 inch crêpe pan or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. (Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water onto the pan; they should sizzle and bounce immediately.)
  4. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan, tilting to spread evenly into a thin circle.
  6. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until light golden brown and set. Flip carefully using a thin spatula.
  7. Remove from pan and stack on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter to make approximately 14 crêpes.
  8. Fill with your favorite sweet or savory ingredients. (See recipe suggestions below!)
  9. Serve immediately or cool, wrap, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze layered crêpes between sheets of waxed paper for up to 3 months.
