Classic Crepe Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation
1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs.
- Gradually add the milk and water, stirring continuously until well combined.
- Incorporate the salt and melted butter, beating until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Lightly oil a griddle or frying pan and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each crepe.
- Tilt the pan in a circular motion to evenly coat the surface with the batter.
3. Cook the Crepes:
- Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned.
- Use a spatula to loosen the edges, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
4. Serve:
- Serve the crepes hot, garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
- For additional flavor, add whipped cream, Nutella, or your favorite toppings.
Tips:
- Ensure the batter is smooth and lump-free. Using a blender can help achieve this consistency.
- The pan should be hot enough to cook the crepe quickly without burning it.
- Don’t be discouraged if the first crepe isn’t perfect; it’s common for the first one to be a test. Adjust the heat as necessary and continue.
