This Quick and Easy Crepe Recipe offers a simple and delicious way to make light, thin crepes perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Using a blender for the batter ensures a smooth consistency, and cooking on a non-stick pan yields perfectly golden crepes.

Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 2/3 cup (200g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 ml) milk
  • 1 cup (200 ml) mineral water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Toppings

  • Nutella
  • Fresh fruits (such as strawberries, bananas, blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the eggs, flour, milk, mineral water, vegetable oil, and salt into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate fully, ensuring tender crepes.
  2. Prepare the Pan: Heat a non-stick or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Dip a paper towel in vegetable oil and lightly coat the pan to prevent sticking. Repeat oiling before cooking each crepe.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan. Immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly in a thin layer. Cook until the top surface is no longer wet and the bottom side turns light brown, which takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Flip the Crepe: Use a spatula to loosen the edges of the crepe, then flip it over carefully. Cook the other side until it also becomes light brown, approximately 1 minute.
  5. Serve: Transfer each cooked crepe to a plate, keeping them warm as you cook the remaining batter. Continue until all batter is used.
  6. Add Toppings: Serve the crepes hot, topped with your choice of Nutella and fresh fruits for a delicious finish.

Notes

  • Letting the batter rest helps achieve a more tender crepe by relaxing the gluten.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add a splash of milk or water and stir gently.
  • You can substitute mineral water with sparkling water or plain water for similar results.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or a dedicated crepe pan for best results and easy flipping.
  • Crepes can be kept warm by covering them with foil or placing them in a low oven (around 200°F / 90°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
  • Experiment with savory fillings like ham and cheese or spinach for a different variation.
