Directions
- 1
Place the flour, milk, eggs, and salt in a blender. Blend for 2 minutes until the batter is completely smooth and slightly liquid.
- 2
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature — this relaxes the gluten and results in softer crêpes.
- 3
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over low heat until warm.
- 4
Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan while swirling it in a circular motion to coat the entire surface with a thin, even layer.
- 5
Wait until the edges begin to lift and turn golden — that's your cue to flip.
- 6
Carefully flip the crêpe with a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.
- 7
Slide onto a plate and fill as you like: ham and cheese or creamy mushrooms for savory, or jam, Nutella, or caramel sauce for a sweet treat.
💡 Chef's Tip
For lighter, airier crêpes, swap half the milk for sparkling water or light beer. Stack finished crêpes on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft while you cook the rest.
