Classic French Crêpes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic French Crêpes.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious crêpe adventure, grab a mixing bowl and sift together the flour, sugar, and salt.

2. Step 2

   This simple step ensures a light and airy texture, so don’t skip it! Once that’s done, set the bowl aside and move on to the next step.

3. Step 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until they’re perfectly blended.

4. Step 4

   This is where the magic begins! Gradually add your flour mixture to the egg and milk blend, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and creamy.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to fold in the melted butter, which adds a rich flavor and helps create those irresistible crêpes.

6. Step 6

   Next, lightly grease a griddle or frying pan and heat it over medium-high heat.

7. Step 7

   You want it hot enough to create a lovely golden crust but not so hot that it burns your crêpes.

8. Step 8

   Once the pan is ready, pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot surface.

9. Step 9

   Here’s a fun tip: immediately tilt and rotate the skillet to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

10. Step 10

    This is what gives crêpes their signature delicate texture! Cook the crêpe until the top looks dry and the bottom is lightly browned, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

11. Step 11

    When it’s ready, carefully flip the crêpe and let the other side cook for another minute until it turns a beautiful golden brown.

12. Step 12

    Repeat this process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed to keep everything from sticking.

13. Step 13

    As you create each crêpe, imagine the delicious fillings you can add—sweet or savory, the choice is yours! Enjoy the process, and soon you’ll have a stack of delightful crêpes ready to be filled and devoured.
