Serves: 24-28
Ingredients
  • 6 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • butter for the pan while cooking
  • Toppings of choice, see post for options.
Instructions
  1. Combine ingredients in the order listed into a blender or mixing bowl--melted butter, milk, water, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, and salt. (The butter needs to go in first before the milk and water, so that it can cool off before the eggs are added.)
  2. If you are using a blender, blend on high until thoroughly incorporated. You may need to scrape the sides down halfway through mixing. If using a mixing bowl, vigorously whisk everything together until thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours.
  4. When ready to cook, use a 10-inch skillet and heat it on medium to medium-high heat. Rub a thin amount of butter onto the hot skillet.
  5. Pour a scant ¼ cup of batter directly into the center of the pan. Pick up the pan and quickly tilt it around so that the batter runs evenly over the pan until the whole bottom is covered. You want the crepe to be as thin as possible, so this step needs to happen quickly before the batter begins to set. (This takes a little practice, but even if your crepes aren't perfect circles, they are still going to taste delicious.)
  6. Once the bottom of the pan is covered, return to heat and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is set and starting to brown. The top may start to bubble slightly as an indication that it is close to being ready to flip.
  7. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30-60 seconds or until the second side is slightly browned.
  8. Remove and stack on a plate. Repeat, starting with the step of rubbing the pan with a little butter, until the batter is gone.
  9. To make this go faster, you can have two pans going at a time.
  10. Serve immediately with toppings of choice!
  11. Enjoy!
