Step 1

Melt the butter: Melt some butter in the microwave or on the stove. Let it cool for a few minutes before using in the batter. (Otherwise you could scramble the eggs.)

Step 2

Combine all ingredients in a blender: Add the cooled melted butter and all the remaining ingredients into a blender. A blender works WONDERFULLY to smooth out the batter because it cuts that flour perfectly into all the wet ingredients. If you don’t have a blender, just use a mixing bowl and whisk. (its what I do)

Step 3

Chill the batter: Chill the crepe batter for at least 30-60 minutes before cooking it. This time in the refrigerator is crucial to the taste, texture, and success of your crepes. Use this time to clean up and get your skillet ready. You can even chill the batter overnight so it’s ready to cook the next day.

Step 4

Butter & heat a small skillet: Generously butter (or oil, just the thinnest layer) the pan and keep butter nearby for greasing the pan between each crepe too. Though professional chefs may use a specialty crepe pan, I find a small 8-inch skillet (affiliate link*) works perfectly at home. If you don’t have a small skillet, use a larger one but make sure you keep the crepes THIN.

Step 5

Cook crepes one at a time: The longest part of this recipe is standing over the stove and cooking them one at a time over medium heat. Use only 3-4 Tablespoons of batter per crepe. (I usually use 3 Tablespoons.) The less you use and the larger you stretch the crepe, the thinner they’ll be. I twirl the pan so the batter stretches as far as it can go. If you don’t do this, your crepes will be pretty thick and taste like tortillas. Still delicious, but very different. Flip the crepe over and cook the other side, too, just until it is cooked. NOTE: these only take 1 or two minutes maximum per crepe

Step 6

Serve with favorite fillings: I love serving them warm with nutella and strawberries with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Keep scrolling because I have lots of filling ideas listed for you below

Step 7

Filling ideas: Crepes are a blank canvas for many different fillings and toppings. Though I’m all about going overboard with toppings like Nutella & strawberry with whipped cream, sometimes it’s nice to keep things simple!
