How to Make Basic Dessert Crepes Batter

  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the batter is completely smooth.
  3. Refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) to allow the gluten to relax for extra tender crepes.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. (You may not need any additional oil).
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface, tilting the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
  6. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
  7. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until lightly browned on the other side.
  8. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate or wire rack. Place wax paper between each crepe to prevent sticking.
  9. Repeat with remaining batter. Makes approximately 20 crepes (depending on pan size and batter thickness).
  10. To freeze: Wrap crepes individually in plastic wrap, then layer between sheets of wax paper in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
