Basic Crepes

This is a basic crepe recipe that can be modified to your taste and the situation. I make them often in college since there are few ingredients and it takes a small amount of time and effort.

1 cup flour
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, This is optional, for dessert crepes.
2 eggs / 2 tablespoons maple syrup or 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup milk

  1. Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. Once every thing is mixed bang the bowl on the cabinet to get the air bubbles out. You can also let the batter sit in the fridge for an hour.
  3. Heat a small non-stick skillet and grease with butter, oil, or non-stick spray.
  4. Pour about a tablespoon of batter into the center of the pan and swirl it around so the batter covers the entire surface.
  5. Cook for 30 seconds and then flip the crepe, being careful not to fold it.
  6. Cook the crepe for 20 more seconds and then put it on a flat plate or cutting board to cool.
  7. Continue making crepe this way until all the batter is gone.
  8. Once the crepes are cool you can stack them and they won't stick together.
  9. Put anything you like into your crepes, meat, fruit, cheese and then eat!
