– 2 eggs
– ½ cup milk
– ½ cup water
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– 1 tablespoon sugar (if making sweet crepes)
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– Your choice of fillings and toppings (such as Nutella, fruit preserves, cheese, ham, or fresh fruits)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, sugar (if making sweet crepes), and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Alternatively, you can use a blender or a hand mixer for quicker mixing.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. This is an essential step to ensure the crepes don’t stick to the pan and can be easily flipped.

3. Once the skillet is hot, grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray. This will prevent the crepes from sticking and make it easier to slide them off the pan.

4. Measure ¼ cup of the batter and pour it onto the center of the skillet. Quickly tilt and rotate the skillet in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. If needed, you can use a spoon or a spatula to help spread the batter.

5. Cook the crepe for approximately 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to brown and lift away from the pan. Use a thin spatula to gently flip the crepe, and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side.

6. Transfer the cooked crepe onto a large plate or a baking sheet, and proceed to cook the remaining batter following the same steps. You may need to re-grease the skillet lightly between each crepe to prevent sticking.

7. Once all the crepes are cooked, it’s time to fill them with your desired ingredients. For sweet crepes, you can spread Nutella, fruit preserves, or sprinkle powdered sugar. For savory crepes, try fillings like cheese, ham, sautéed vegetables, or chicken.

8. To serve, you have the option of folding the crepes into quarters or rolling them into a cylinder shape. Garnish with fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.
