Easy 10 Minute French Crepes

Description

A foolproof and versatile recipe for delicate French Crepes that are perfect for both sweet and savory fillings. This easy 10-minute batter yields paper-thin, golden crepes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Sifted Flour
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Melted Butter (or Coconut Oil)
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar (Sweet Version Only)
  • A few drops of Vanilla Extract (Sweet Version Only)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Liquids and Sift the Flour: Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly. Pour in the milk followed by the water, whisking until smooth and homogenous. Gradually sift in the flour while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Add the salt, plus the sugar and vanilla extract if making a sweet version. Finally, stir in the melted butter (or coconut oil) until you have a perfectly silky, fluid batter.
  2. Rest the Batter (Recommended): While optional, chilling the batter in the refrigerator for 30 minutes allows the flour to fully absorb the liquids, relaxes the gluten, and eliminates air bubbles. This simple resting step guarantees super-soft crepes that resist tearing during flipping.
  3. Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a 20 cm (8-inch) non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a touch of butter or oil. Pour a small ladle of batter into the center and immediately tilt and swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1 minute until the edges lift slightly and the underside is lightly golden. Gently flip and cook for 1 additional minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter!

Notes

Serve with various sweet or savory fillings. Crepes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
