Basic Crepe Batter

These delicate pancakes made of egg-and-flour batter are both fun to make and delicious.They are often filled with meat, fish, or vegetables, covered with a sauce, and served as a main course. Dessert crepes are made with a sweeter batter and are often filled with fruit.

4 eggs
¼ tsp. salt
2 c. all-purpose flour
2¼ c. milk
¼ c. melted butter

1. Combine eggs and salt in a bowl.
2. Alternately stir in flour and milk. Then beat with a whisk or electric mixer until creamy.
3. Beat in melted butter.
4. Chill batter at least 1 hour.
5. Heat a crepe pan on medium-high heat. Pour the crepe batter into the pan as you would to make a pancake. Swirl the batter to coat the entire bottom of the pan.
6. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottom of the crepe becomes firm.
7. Use a fork to gently lift the crepe from the pan. Quickly flip the crepe to cook the other side.
8. Cook for 1 minute or until the crepe just starts to brown. Move the crepe to a plate.
