Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • Cups Whole Milk
  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 TBSP Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Melted Butter
  • TSP Salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients as ordered into a blender and blend until smooth and well mixed. Scrape sides and mix again briefly.
  • Place batter in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Cook crepes with preferred method: Using a nonstick 10 inch crepe pan heated over medium high heat, melt a small amount of butter in the pan. Pour about 3 to 4 tablespoons of crepe batter into the center of the pan.
  • Using a crepe spreader, swirl the batter into a thin, even layer on the pan. Alternatively, swirl the pan as pouring the batter into the pan to spread evenly.
  • Cook until the top no longer appears shiny, about 15 seconds. Flip and allow to cook another 10-15 seconds. Remove from pan.
  • Easier Instructions: Using an electric crepe maker, preheat the crepe maker and lightly brush with melted butter. Gently roll the crepe maker into the batter bowl, until a thin layer of batter coats the surface of the iron.
  • Place the iron back on counter and allow to cook for one to one and a half minutes. The surface will no longer appear shiny.
  • Flip the iron over and using a crepe spatula, gently peel the crepe from the iron if it does not easily release.
  • Repeat until batter is gone.
