Cooking Time: 3-4 minutes per crepePreperation Time: 30 minutes + cooking time

Prepare batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 30 grams of flour, 1 egg, 60 milliliters of milk, 5 grams of melted butter, and a pinch of salt. For sweet crepes, add 5 grams of sugar and a splash of vanilla extract. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and for a better texture.

Cook crepes

Heat a non-stick frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil. Pour or scoop the batter onto the pan, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the bottom is light golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.

Serve

Serve the crepes warm, filled or topped with your desired ingredients. For sweet crepes, consider fruits, jam, Nutella, whipped cream, or sugar. For savory ones, fill with cheese, ham, sautéed vegetables, or eggs. The possibilities are endless.
