How to Make Easy Crepes
INGREDIENTS –
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups water
- 3 eggs
- dash of salt
- Oil
- Toppings – powdered sugar, sliced strawberries, whipped cream, Nutella, etc.
DIRECTIONS –
1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, water, eggs, and salt until smooth. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes to let the bubbles settle.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Pour a drizzle of oil into a paper towel, then rub the paper towel along the inside of an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Heat the skillet on medium heat for several minutes.
3. Cook the Crepes:
- Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling the batter around to cover the surface thinly and evenly across the bottom.
- Cook until set, about 20 -30 seconds until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns a light golden color. Use a spatula to carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for an additional 10-20 seconds. Remove from pan and serve warm.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Fill or top your crepes with your favorite ingredients! Sweet options include Nutella, fruits, whipped cream, or jams. For savory choices, try cheese, ham, spinach, or mushrooms.
