How to Make Crepes
Learn how to make crepes in just 20 minutes with this simple crepe recipe. You only need 5 ingredients!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Add the milk, water, eggs, and melted butter to a blender and blend on medium speed for 30 seconds.
- Next, add the flour (and any additional flavorings) and blend for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender, if needed, and blend for an additional 15 seconds.
- Heat a large, nonstick skillet (preferably one with short sides) over medium heat, just until it is warm. Grease the pan very lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Add about 3 tablespoons of batter to the center of the pan and swirl it in a circular motion to spread out the batter. It will seem difficult at first, but you’ll get the hang of it!
- Cook for 2 minutes, then flip the crepe and cook for an additional minute. Remove the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Fill the crepes with your favorite garnishes and enjoy them warm.
- Store any leftover, unfilled crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.

Variations
- For sweet crepes, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon to the batter in step 2.
- For savory crepes, add ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder to the crepes in step 2.
Filling Options
- I love to fill my crepes with fresh fruit-- bananas, berries, peaches, and apples are all delicious. You could also use your favorite jam or fruit spread (like lemon curd)!
- For savory crepes, I love to fill them with cheese (brie is a personal favorite), cured meats, or sauteed vegetables!
