Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add in 2 large eggs and whisk gently.
  2. Slowly pour in 2 cups of milk while continuously whisking to get a smooth batter.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter and mix until the batter is silky and slightly thick but pourable.
  4. Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes and lightly grease it.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the center of the pan and swirl to form an even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
  8. Place cooked crepes on a plate, cover to keep warm, and repeat with the remaining batter.
  9. Serve with your choice of sweet or savory fillings.
