Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour ($0.18)
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) salt ($0.02)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature* ($1.34)
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk, warmed* ($0.18)
- 3 Tbsp (45 ml) melted butter ($0.33)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water ($0.00)
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) cooking oil, for the skillet ($0.08)
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and water in a large mixing bowl, stirring until you achieve a smooth and slightly thick consistency.
- Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for half an hour, or store it in the fridge for up to 48 hours if you’re preparing in advance.
- When you’re ready to cook the crêpes, preheat a 10-inch pan over medium heat. Once it’s heated, lightly coat it with about ½ teaspoon of oil.
- Pour approximately ⅓ cup of the batter into the pan and gently swirl it around in a circular motion so that it covers the pan evenly.
- Let the crêpe cook until it is mostly firm, then turn it over to cook until the other side is golden brown. Cooking time for each side can vary based on your pan and burner, so you may need to adjust the heat.
- Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan between each crêpe as needed. Stack the cooked crêpes on a clean plate, covering them with a towel to maintain warmth. Once all are done, fill, fold, or roll them before serving.
Notes
- Bring the eggs to room temperature for a smooth batternGently warm the milk to keep butter from solidifyingnResting the batter allows flour to fully absorb liquids
