Instructions

  • Put all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until combined.
  • Add the eggs to the bowl and pour in the milk while whisking. Adding the milk in a little at a time prevents your batter from being full of lumps.
  • Let the batter stand for a few minutes, and add more water or milk if it becomes too thick. The batter should be about as thick as heavy cream.
  • Get a hot, non-stick skillet or crepe pan and spread a thin layer of butter with a brush. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour a thin layer of batter into the pan and tilt the pan until the entire bottom is covered.
  • When the top of the crepe starts to dry, you can carefully flip it. This takes about one minute.
