Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Blender
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and unsalted butter. If you don't have a blender, you can mix everything using a whisk. Blend until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain and bubbles start to form on top, which should take about 30 seconds.
  2. Heat a 12-inch (30 cm) nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with a bit of butter to prevent sticking. Make sure it's hot enough that a drop of water sizzles upon contact.
  3. Pour approximately 1/3 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling it to completely cover the bottom. Aim for about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. You can adjust the amount depending on how thick you want your crepes.
  4. Cook the crepe for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the underside is a golden brown and the edges begin to lift. Keep an eye on it — you want it crispy but not burnt.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, gently loosen the edges of the crepe, then quickly flip it over to cook the other side. This should take about 1 minute, just enough to set the batter.
  6. Slide the crepe out of the skillet and onto a plate. Repeat the process for the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
  7. Once you have a stack of crepes, fold them over. You can serve them immediately topped with powdered sugar, maple syrup, Nutella, or chocolate sauce. If desired, add a handful of fresh berries on top for a burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You may make crepes in advance. Stack crepes with wax paper or aluminum foil and refrigerate, up to 3 days.
