Hello, Lykkers!

Crepes are versatile and delicious thin pancakes that can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings.

Here’s a straightforward recipe to make basic crepes that you can enjoy for breakfast, dessert, or even dinner.

Ingredients

For the Crepes:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 large eggs

- 1 ½ cups milk

- 2 tablespoons melted butter

- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

- ¼ teaspoon salt

- Additional melted butter for cooking

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar (if using), and salt until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes for better texture.

Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with melted butter.

Step 3: Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the center of the pan. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.

Step 4: Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.

Step 5: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.

Step 6: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Serving Suggestions

Serve crepes with various fillings such as fresh fruits, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, Nutella, or savory options like cheese.

Storage Tips

Cooked crepes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet before serving.
