Basic Crepes

Super easy. Yummy. Versatile.

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Beat the eggs, milk and water. Add flour. Add the salt and butter and beat until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula and turn to cook the other side. Serve warm with your favorite filling.

Yummy dessert ideas:
Nutella and sliced bananas or strawberries
your favorite jam
cinnamon and sugar

Simple savory options:
add some fresh herbs to the batter if you like
fill with:
chicken salad
italian cheeses (like for lasagna) roll up and cover with marinara
...

What are some of your favorite fillings?
