Ingredients

  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Add the milk, water, eggs, and melted butter to a blender and blend on medium speed for 30 seconds. 
  • Next, add the flour (and any additional flavorings) and blend for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender, if needed, and blend for an additional 15 seconds. 
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet (preferably one with short sides) over medium heat, just until it is warm. Grease the pan very lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray. 
  • Add about 3 tablespoons of batter to the center of the pan and swirl it in a circular motion to spread out the batter. It will seem difficult at first, but you’ll get the hang of it! 
  • Cook for 2 minutes, then flip the crepe and cook for an additional minute. Remove the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. 
  • Fill the crepes with your favorite garnishes and enjoy them warm. 
  • Store any leftover, unfilled crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. 

Tips & Notes

  • This recipe yields around 8 crepes.

Variations

  • For sweet crepes, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon to the batter in step 2. 
  • For savory crepes, add ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder to the crepes in step 2. 

Filling Options  

  • I love to fill my crepes with fresh fruit-- bananas, berries, peaches, and apples are all delicious. You could also use your favorite jam or fruit spread (like lemon curd)! 
  • For savory crepes, I love to fill them with cheese (brie is a personal favorite), cured meats, or sauteed vegetables!
