Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/4 c. (280 mL) whole milk, room temperature
- 1 c. (120 g.) all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, cooled, plus 1/2 tsp. cold unsalted butter
- Berries and powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
Instruction:
- In a blender, mix eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, salt, and 3 tablespoons melted butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Preheat a 9” nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Melt ½ teaspoon cold butter in preheated pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Briefly whisk batter, then pour ¼ cup into center of pan, lifting pan off heat and slightly tilting in a circular motion to help batter spread into an even circle. Cook until top is set and bottom is golden brown, about 45 seconds. Flip and cook on second side until cooked through, about 45 seconds more.
- Using spatula, fold crêpe into quarters. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining batter to create a total of 8 crêpes. Serve with berries and powdered sugar, if desired.
- Make Ahead: Transfer crêpes from skillet to parchment-lined cooling rack. Cool completely, then stack between sheets of parchment and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Nutrition Facts: calories 56, Fat 3 grams, Saturated Fat 2 grams, Cholesterol 28 milligrams, Sodium 13 milligrams, Carbohydrate 6 grams, Fiber 0 grams, Protein 2 grams, Sugar 1 grams
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup flour
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- Butter, for coating the pan
Instruction:
- In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
- Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.
