How to Make Butter Crepes

  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed for 1 minute.
  3. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender. Blend for an additional 15 seconds.
  4. Refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour to allow the gluten to relax for extra tender crepes.
  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 onto the hot skillet.
  8. Immediately lift and tilt the skillet to evenly spread the batter into a thin circle.
  9. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the surface is lightly speckled.
  10. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30-45 seconds on the other side, or until lightly browned. (For a more delicate crepe, skip flipping).
  11. Carefully slide the cooked crepe onto a plate or stack of paper towels.
  12. Repeat steps 7-11 with the remaining batter.
  13. Serve your delicious crepes immediately with your favorite fillings such as fruit jam, sweetened fresh peaches, cream cheese and pineapple, ham, or maple syrup.
