Ingredients
-

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
-
Blend the Batter: In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, water, sugar, melted butter, and flour. Add vanilla extract if you want sweet crepes. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Chill the Batter: Pour the batter into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight). This helps the crepes hold together better and ensures they’re tender.
-
Prepare the Pan: Heat a small (8-inch) pan over medium heat. Coat the pan with butter or cooking spray.
-
Cook the Crepes: Pour about 3 tablespoons (¾ of a ¼ cup) of batter into the center of the pan and swirl it to spread the batter evenly. Cook for about 30 seconds or until the edges begin to lift.
-
Flip the Crepe: Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for about 10 seconds.
-
Cool and Stack: Transfer the cooked crepe to a cutting board or clean counter to cool. Do not stack the crepes until they have cooled, as this can cause them to stick together. Once cooled, you can stack them without any issues.
-
Serve: Repeat with the remaining batter. Fill with your favorite sweet or savory fillings, and enjoy!

FAQs
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can use any milk of your choice, such as almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk, for a dairy-free version.
Do I have to refrigerate the batter?
For best results, refrigerating the batter for at least 1 hour helps create tender crepes, but if you’re short on time, you can skip this step.
How do I make these crepes thinner?
To make the crepes even thinner, add a bit more water to the batter until you reach the desired consistency.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the fridge overnight for an even more convenient breakfast the next morning.
How can I make the crepes crispy?
For a crispy texture, cook the crepes a little longer on each side, but be careful not to overcook them as they can become tough.
Can I make these crepes without a blender?
Yes, you can mix the ingredients by hand using a whisk, but a blender helps achieve a smoother batter and saves time.
How do I make savory crepes?
Simply omit the sugar and vanilla extract in the batter, and fill the crepes with savory ingredients like cheese, ham, or spinach.
Can I use a larger pan?
If you prefer to make larger crepes, you can use a bigger pan. Just adjust the amount of batter you pour in to ensure they don’t become too thick.
Can I stack the crepes while they’re still warm?
It’s best to let the crepes cool before stacking them to prevent them from sticking together.
How do I keep the crepes from sticking to the pan?
Make sure the pan is preheated and coated with a thin layer of butter or cooking spray to keep the crepes from sticking.
