French Crepes

 French Crepes

Crepes have a captivating history, akin to European pancakes.

These light, thin delicacies from France are delightfully soft and buttery.

While sweet versions are the favorite, savory crepes filled with goodies like ham or seafood are also amazing.   

Versatile for any meal—breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert—they're a cherished treat across restaurants in France and beyond!

Ingredients

12 servings

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon white sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

3 eggs

2 cups milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Sift flour, sugar, and salt into a bowl; set aside. Beat eggs and milk together in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in flour mixture until smooth; stir in melted butter.

Lightly grease a griddle or frying pan; heat over medium-high heat.

Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crêpe. Immediately rotate the skillet to spread batter out in a thin layer. Cook until the top of the crêpe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Shake the pan or loosen with a spatula; turn or flip it over and cook until other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Repeat with the remaining batter.
