- 1 cup all-purpose flour,
- 2 eggs,
- 1/2 cup milk,
- 1/2 cup water,
- 1/4 teaspoon salt,
- 2 tablespoons melted butter,
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional),
- Butter or oil for the pan,
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract, if using. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Let the batter sit for about 30 minutes to let the flour absorb the liquid, making the crepes tender.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom is light brown, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite fillings, from simple sugar and lemon juice to Nutella or fresh fruits. Enjoy your perfect homemade crepes!
