Basic Crepes Recipe
This is an all-purpose basic crepes recipe. Crepes are so versatile and this recipe will work for both savory and sweet fillings.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted, or cooking oil
Instructions
Mixer or whisk method:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs and salt. Gradually add the flour alternatively with the milk, beating with an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth. Beat in the melted butter or oil.
Blender method:
- Combine the ingredients in the blender jar. Blend for about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and blend for another 15 seconds or until smooth.
Cooking The Crepes:
- Refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour. Cook on an upside-down crepe griddle or in a traditional pan.
- This is a thicker batter that works for an upside down crepe maker. You may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water for thinner crepes cooked in a traditional pan.
- Makes 30-35 crepes.
Notes
- If the batter does not swirl in the pan it is too thick. Thin the batter a bit with a few tablespoons of milk or water.
