French Crêpes

Step 1

Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Make a well in the center and crack eggs into it.

Step 3

Pour half the milk into the well and whisk until smooth, gradually incorporating flour from the edges.

Step 4

Whisk in remaining milk and water until batter is thin and lump-free. Stir in melted butter and sugar.

Step 5

Let batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Lightly butter the surface.

Step 7

Pour 3 tablespoons batter into the center and immediately tilt the pan in all directions to spread into a thin, even layer.

Step 8

Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the bottom is light golden, then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.

Step 9

Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, buttering the pan lightly between crêpes.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of fillings and toppings.
