Gather Ingredients

Prepare all the ingredients for the crepes: approximately 20 grams of all-purpose flour, 45 ml of milk, 1/4 of a large egg, 2.5 grams of unsalted butter (melted), a pinch of salt, and optionally 1 gram of sugar for sweet crepes. Have some water handy to adjust the batter consistency if necessary.

Mix the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, egg, melted butter, salt, and sugar (if using). Whisk together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If the batter appears too thick, gradually add a little water until it reaches a thin, pourable consistency.

Cook the Crepes

Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of butter or oil. Once hot, pour or ladle a small amount of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter thinly and evenly over the surface. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip carefully and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve the crepes warm, filled or topped with your choice of ingredients. For sweet crepes, consider fresh fruit, jam, chocolate spread, or whipped cream. For savory versions, fill with cheese, ham, sautéed vegetables, or eggs. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get creative!
