Ingredients:

• ¾ cup of all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp of melted butter
• 1¼ cups of skim milk
• 2 eggs
• ¾ tsp of salt

Yield: 10 8-inch or 12 6-inch crepes


Combine all ingredients into a blender and mix until well-blended. You may also combine them by hand. If combining by hand, mix the eggs and milk separately and combine slowly with the dry ingredients.

Mix in the melted butter last.

Important: Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes. This gives the batter the opportunity to rest and fully come together.

Easy as pie, right? Once you have done it once, you'll already be a pro. The batter is really one of the easiest things, the flipping and baking in a sauce pan is the harder part.

But don't worry, we are here to help you with that too.
