  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out all your ingredients for a smoother process.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar (if using), and salt. Whisk until blended.
  3. Add the Eggs: Create a well in the dry ingredients, crack in the eggs, and beat gently, incorporating flour from the edges.
  4. Incorporate the Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to maintain a smooth consistency.
  5. Add the Melted Butter: Mix in the melted butter until well combined.
  6. Let the Batter Rest: Cover and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
  7. Prepare Your Cooking Surface: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with a small amount of butter or oil.
  8. Pour the Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly.
  9. Cook the Crepe: Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and the bottom is golden.
  10. Flip the Crepe: Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
  11. Remove and Stack: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and stack them to keep warm.
  12. Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
  13. Choose Your Fillings: Decide on sweet or savory fillings.
  14. Fill the Crepes: Lay a crepe flat, add filling in the center, and drizzle with chocolate sauce or sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
  15. Fold the Crepe: Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to create a triangle, or roll it up.
  16. Serve: Serve warm, garnished with additional toppings if desired.

Notes
