Thin, delicate homemade crepes come from a simple pourable batter that stays soft and flexible. You make them with flour, milk, and eggs you almost always have at home. They suit breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a quick sweet lunch for the whole family. Fill them with jam, sweet cheese, or chocolate spread and serve them right away while warm.

Step by step process

Preparing the Batter

1
To make homemade crepes, sift the all-purpose flour into a bowl. Add the granulated sugar and a pinch of salt, then whisk everything together for a moment.
2
Pour in about one third of the milk and whisk in the eggs. The batter should be thick and smooth, with no large lumps.
3
Add the rest of the milk gradually. Keep whisking until the batter is thin and runs easily off the whisk.
4
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This short pause lets the flour absorb the liquid, so the crepes hold together and do not tear while frying.

Frying

5
Heat the pan well. Brush it lightly with canola oil and lower the heat to medium.
6
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan. Swirl it around to spread it into a thin, even layer.
7
Fry the crepe for about 1 minute. The edges should turn golden and the surface should set.
8
Flip it with a spatula. Cook the other side for about 30 more seconds, until golden.
9
Fry the rest the same way. Brush the pan with a little oil again each time.

Serving

10
Spread the finished crepes with jam. Roll them up or fold them into triangles, then dust with powdered sugar.
11
Serve them warm. That is when they are softest and the filling soaks in best.
