Crepe Batter
Method
Cooking Crepes
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
Heat the Pan
In a non-stick skillet or crepe pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat the surface.
Cook the Crepes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly across the surface. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serve
Serve the crepes warm with your choice of fillings or toppings such as sugar, lemon juice, fruit, or syrup.
