Ingredients
  

Crepe Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional) Adds sweetness to the batter.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs until well combined.
  2. Gradually pour in the milk and water, stirring continuously to create a smooth batter.
  3. Add the melted butter, optional sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until everything is nicely incorporated.
Cooking
  1. Lightly grease a non-stick pan with butter and heat it over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  2. For each crepe, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly.
  3. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the underside is golden.
  4. Using a spatula, carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side.
  5. Transfer the cooked crepes to a plate and stack them. Fill with your desired toppings.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 30 minutes for better texture. Adjust the heat to avoid burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
