Equipment

  • 1 spatula
  • 1 medium/large skillet
  • 1 medium/large bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or almond/coconut flour
  • 2 whole eggs
  • ½ cup milk or heavy cream non-dairy/vegan milks also work
  • 1 cup water
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1½ tbsp granulated/brown sugar optional
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • unsalted butter/cooking spray for the pan

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together all dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Make a hole in the center and crack the two eggs in, then add milk. Mix them until you have a nice, smooth batter with few or no lumps.
  • Store the crepe batter in the fridge for at least 1 hour. It should be a bit bubbly on top.
  • Heat a large, flat skillet on medium heat over a stove. Melt butter on it or use cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Pour some batter in the pan until it creates a small circle and tilt the skillet so that it spreads around the skillet evenly. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, then flip it over.
  • Once the crepe is fully cooked, set it gently on a dish and repeat the process with the rest of the batter.
