How to Make Easy Basic Crepes

  1. In a blender or large bowl, combine all ingredients and blend until completely smooth. The batter should be thinner than pancake batter; adjust consistency as needed by adding more milk for a thinner batter or more flour for a thicker batter.
  2. Lightly spray an 8-inch non-stick skillet or crêpe pan with cooking oil and heat over medium heat. For best results, use a medium-low heat and adjust based on your stove.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, quickly tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
  4. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently flip the crêpe once one side is browned.
  5. Remove the cooked crêpe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Fill your crêpes with your favorite sweet or savory fillings (fruits, whipped cream, chocolate, savory meats, cheeses, vegetables).
  7. Fold and roll up your filled crêpes like a burrito.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy hot or cold!
