Easy Crepes

Hello, it’s me, Lottie! *waves* Here’s my famous—or should I say infamous—crepes recipe. This is hands-down my favorite breakfast, but the good thing about crepes is that you can gobble them up at any time of day! You can fill them with anything you like and enjoy them sweet or savory! I like them with Nutella, lemon and sugar, and even with pancake syrup! I hope you have fun exploring all the different options. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water *(I actually use 7Up soda instead! It adds a nice lift to the batter and a great taste, too! I also add more 7Up until I feel that the batter is a very soupy consistency. You do not want this as thick as pancake batter. More like the consistency of a thick yet runny soup.)

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons melted butter

Butter or oil for cooking

Directions:

Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stir to combine. Add the salt and melted butter then whisk until smooth.

Heat the Pan: Heat a lightly oiled frying pan or crepe pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan. Tilt and rotate the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Cook and Flip: Cook the crepe for about 1 minute, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, flip it over, and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.

Serve: Slide the crepe onto a plate and continue making crepes with the remaining batter. Stack the cooked crepes with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.

Enjoy: Serve with your favorite toppings, like fresh fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a squeeze of lemon (one of my faves)!

Enjoy your crepes and happy eating!
