Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and sugar in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Let batter rest 10 minutes at room temperature—this relaxes the gluten.

  3. Step 3

    Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles.

  4. Step 4

    Lightly butter the pan, then pour 1/4 cup batter in the center and immediately tilt and swirl to spread thin.

  5. Step 5

    Cook 60-90 seconds until the bottom edges curl slightly and surface looks set.

  6. Step 6

    Flip and cook the other side 30 seconds until very light golden, then slide onto a plate.

  7. Step 7

    Repeat with remaining batter, stirring it occasionally to keep flour suspended.

  8. Step 8

    Spread jam, Nutella, or cheese on each crêpe, add fresh fruit or ham, then roll or fold.

  9. Step 9

    Serve warm or at room temperature.
