How to Make Basic Crepe Batter

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and sugar (if using).
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
4. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (this is crucial for tender crêpes).
5. Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
7. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when the edges begin to lift and the top surface looks set.
8. Stack the cooked crêpes on a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
9. Serve immediately with your favorite fillings, such as fruit, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or savory options like cheese and ham.
