How to Make Basic Crepes Ii
- In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, and salt.
- Blend on high speed for 1 minute until completely smooth.
- Scrape down the sides of the blender and blend for an additional 15 seconds.
- Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
- Heat a lightly greased 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet, tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly browned.
- Using a thin spatula, gently flip the crêpe and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side, or until lightly golden brown. (Optional)
- Carefully remove the crêpe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm and prevent drying.
- Repeat steps 7-10 with the remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sweet or savory fillings.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
