Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Nonstick Pan
- Whisk
- Ladle
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tbsp sugar optional
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs, melted butter, and optional sugar. Gradually whisk in the milk until the batter is smooth. Cover and let rest for 2 hours.
- Heat a 6-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil. Pour in a ladle of batter and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Cook until the edges lift and the underside is golden. Flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute.
- Stack finished crepes on a plate. Serve warm with toppings like jam, Nutella, lemon and sugar, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Letting the batter rest helps create tender crepes. You can also use a mix of flour and cornstarch for a lighter texture.
