Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk best for richness
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar optional, omit for savory crepes
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter for the batter and greasing the pan

Instructions
 

  • Whisk flour, eggs, milk, water, sugar (optional), and salt until smooth. Strain if needed for extra smoothness. Stir in melted butter and let rest 10–15 minutes for tender crepes. Add water if too thick.
  • Heat a greased nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter, swirl to spread thinly, cook 1–2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is light golden. Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds. Stack cooked crepes. Adjust heat or grease if sticking.
  • Sweet: Spread Nutella, jam, or honey, add fresh fruit, and whipped cream. Roll or fold. Savory: Fill with cheese, mushrooms, spinach, ham, or eggs. Fold or roll and serve warm.
