Here is the basic recipe for sweetened crepes.

Prep Time: 1 hour, 08 minutes

Cook Time: 02 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Preparation:

Measure all ingredients in to blender jar; blend for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides. Blend for 15 seconds more. Cover and let sit for 1 hour. (This helps the flour absorb more of the liquids.)

Regular Crepe Pan Directions:
Heat crepe pan. Lightly grease. Measure about 1/4 cup batter into pan. Tilt pan to spread batter. Once crepe has lots of little bubbles, loosen any edges with spatula. Flip crepe over. This side cooks quickly. Slide crepe from pan to plate.

Crepe Maker Cooking Directions

Makes 12-14 crepes.
