How to Make Basic Crepes
- In a blender, combine all ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 large eggs, 1 1/4 cups milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend on high speed until completely smooth and batter is free of lumps (about 1 minute).
- Let the batter rest for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight in the refrigerator) to allow the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crêpes.
- Heat a lightly oiled 6-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. A lightly greased crepe pan works especially well.
- Once hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot skillet.
- Immediately lift and tilt the skillet to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Lower the heat if the crepes are browning too quickly.
- To remove, gently flip the crepe and cook for about 30 seconds on the second side. Alternatively, carefully slide the crepe onto a plate.
- Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining batter.
- Serve your crêpes immediately with your favorite sweet or savory fillings. Enjoy!
