What Exactly Is A Crêpe?
Instead of the pancake with its thicker texture, the crêpe doubles as a wafer-thin bite of heaven sporting the crisp edges. They are so flexible, allowing you to roll, fold, or stuff them with some moist, fresh fruit, cream, salads, meats, or cheese.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
1. All components needed for the basic crepe recipe can be found in your kitchen cupboard.
2. 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3. One tablespoon of granulated sugar
4. ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
5. 1 ½ cups whole milk, room temperature
6. Four large eggs, room temperature
7. Three tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more for brushing
Here’s how to whip up your batch of homemade crêpes:
1. Mix the Batter: Start by gently mixing in milk, eggs, and salt. First, include the flour, and again, mix in the melted butter until the entire mix is smoothly blended.
2. Rest the Batter:If you want to be a huge success, go with the best option: leave your batter chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, and then combine all the ingredients more perfectly than ever before.
3. Cook: On medium heat, use a non-stick pan and put some skimmed butter to fry it. Pour the small batter in the middle, carefully stirring to the handle to spread the batter thin. Stir with a spoon until the mix progresses and starts lifting the pan’s sides, then flip to brown the other side as well.
4. Stack and Store: Keeping the pan ready is also important because it will allow you to cook the rest of the crêpes quickly without drying up or stiffening.
Folding and Filling Your Crêpes: Get creative with how you serve your crêpes. They can be folded into triangles, rolled like burritos, or made into a layered crêpe cake. Fill them with:
Sweet spreads like jam, hazelnut chocolate, chocolate ganache, lemon, and sugar.
Savory fillings like homemade pesto, Greek yogurt, and fresh fruits are also available.

Storing your crêpes:
Crepes are best fresh, but if you need to store them:
Keep refrigerated: Layer crepes between layers of wax paper and seal them in a container with a cover that will prevent access by outside air. Please give them your cookie caddie; they will be fresh for up to two days.
For Longer Storage: Refer to your Instruction Manual for details. Freeze them for up to two months. Just thaw and fry away for use in a skillet.
