Tools Needed

You’ll need a few basic kitchen tools:

• Mixing bowl or blender
• Whisk
• Nonstick skillet or crepe pan
• Spatula
• Ladle or measuring cup

These tools make cooking crepes easy.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together:

• Flour
• Eggs
• Milk
• Melted butter
• Sugar (optional)
• Salt

Mix until the batter is smooth and thin.

For an extra smooth batter, you can blend it for about 15–20 seconds.

Step 2: Rest the Batter

Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.

This helps the flour fully absorb the liquid.

Step 3: Heat the Pan

Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat.

Step 4: Cook the Crepes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan.

Immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin circle.

Cook for 1–2 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden.

Step 5: Flip the Crepe

Use a spatula to flip the crepe.

Cook the other side for about 30–60 seconds.

Step 6: Repeat

Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.

Step 7: Add Fillings and Serve

Fill with your favorite sweet or savory ingredients and fold or roll the crepes before serving.
