Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk, divided use
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus whole butter for cooking crepes
Directions
Whisk together the flour, eggs, 1/2 cup milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Continue whisking until you have a smooth batter. Add the remaining cup of milk and stir well to combine. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill the batter for at least 30 minutes or several hours.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Just before you are ready to make the crepes, whisk in the melted butter. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream; if it is too thick, add milk slowly while whisking constantly until it is the right texture.
Heat a 9-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Melt a teaspoon of butter in the pan or spray with vegetable spray and heat the pan until a drop of water "dances" across the surface.
Using a ladle or a measuring cup with a lip, pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan. Hold the pan with 1 hand and pour the batter in with the other. Swirl the pan while pouring so that the batter covers the pan thinly and evenly for each crepe. Pour off any excess batter. Try not to leave any holes. After the first few crepes you will know exactly how much batter your pan will hold.
Cook the crepe over medium-high heat until the edges turn brown, about 15 seconds. Flip the crepe using a small spatula and your fingers. Cook on the second side for another 10 to 15 seconds. The second side will not be as evenly browned as the first side. Remove the pan from the heat and invert it over a warm plate to stack the crepes. Keep warm until ready to use. Continue making crepes with remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed.
If not using immediately, place a square of waxed paper between each 1, place in a resealable plastic bag and store in the refrigerator. Crepes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for several months. Reheat uncovered in a low oven (250 degrees) for 15 minutes or until warm. Fill with your favorite filling.

This is the best crepe recipe I have ever tried - foolproof and delicious. It worked perfectly on my electric range using a setting just past medium and a high-quality, heavy bottomed skillet.

I remember going on a date in 2008 and we went to this place in the Hawthorne District in Portland, OR where they have sweet and savory crepes and I fell in love with the savory side! It was a Black Forest Ham & Spinach crepe (can't remember what else was in it! and it was DEVINE! Tried making it after but the recipe I found was not a 5 star, but I think this one will make my taste buds do this recipe again with this one! It sounds simple to do, and I am all about simple these days! Will have to post again to show my results, and a 5+ stars ;-
