Ingredients
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 300ml milk
- 50ml water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for frying
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and crack in the eggs.
- Gradually pour in the milk and water while whisking the mixture to form a smooth, thin batter.
- Stir in the melted butter and let the batter rest for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan.
- Pour a ladleful of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling it around to cover the bottom evenly.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden.
- Flip the crepe and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.
Serve the French crepes with your choice of fillings, such as Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, ham, cheese, or jam.
