Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for French Crepes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 250 g of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Create a well in the center.
  2. Crack 4 large eggs into the well and gradually incorporate the flour from the sides into the eggs to form a thick paste.
  3. Slowly pour in 500 ml of milk while whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and pourable.
  4. Whisk in 50 g of melted butter and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes, lightly greasing with butter or oil.
  6. Pour a small amount of batter into the hot pan, swirl to spread into a thin layer, and cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift.
  7. Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for 1 minute until lightly golden.
  8. Transfer the crepes to a plate, cover to keep warm, and serve filled with your choice of sweet or savory ingredients.
