How to Make Basic Crepes Ii

  1. In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, and salt.
  2. Blend on high speed for 1 minute until completely smooth.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the blender and blend for an additional 15 seconds.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Heat a lightly greased 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Once hot, reduce heat to medium-low.
  7. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet, tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
  8. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly browned.
  9. 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)
  10. 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.
  11. Repeat steps 7-10 with the remaining batter.
  12. 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!
