How to Make Classic Crepes

1. Melt the butter and add it to a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, flour, eggs, and salt, and mix with a whisk or mixer until the batter is smooth and has the consistency of liquid cream. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Lightly grease a non-stick pan with butter and place it over medium heat. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan and tilt it to cover the entire surface with a thin layer.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges turn golden, then flip and cook the other side for another minute. Transfer each crepe to a plate and cover with a napkin to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these classic crepes warm with your choice of fillings. They’re delicious with melted chocolate, jam, fresh fruit, or even a scoop of ice cream for a sweet treat. For a savory option, try fillings like cheese, ham, or vegetables.
