Directions

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, and salt. Gradually add the flour and melted butter, whisking vigorously until the batter is smooth.
    • Tip: Alternatively, you can combine all ingredients in a blender and process in short bursts until smooth.
  2. Cook the Crêpes:
    • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
    • Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
    • Cook until the top of the crêpe is no longer wet and the bottom turns light brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Run a spatula around the edge of the crêpe to loosen it, then flip and cook the other side until light brown, about 1 minute more.
  3. Serve Hot:
    • Serve the crêpes immediately. Top with fresh cream, mixed berries, or your favorite fillings.
