Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) whole milk (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water, to thin batter if needed
  • Savory fillings (customize as desired):
  • Thinly sliced smoked ham
  • 1 cup (150g) sautéed mushrooms with garlic and thyme
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh spinach, lightly wilted
  • 1/2 cup caramelized onions (optional)
  • Chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or tarragon)
  • Crème fraîche or sour cream for dolloping
  • Optional extras: avocado slices, tomato, spicy mustard or Dijon, smoked salmon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together sifted flour and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then gradually add milk and melted butter, mixing well.
  3. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Thin batter with water if needed until consistency is like heavy cream.
  4. Cover batter and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
  5. Prepare fillings: sauté mushrooms with garlic and thyme, wilt spinach, shred cheese, slice ham, and caramelize onions if using.
  6. Preheat non-stick crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with melted butter or oil.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) batter into pan, tilt and swirl to spread thinly and evenly.
  8. Cook until edges lift and underside is lightly golden, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  9. Loosen edges with thin spatula and flip crepe; cook other side for 20-30 seconds until pale golden.
  10. Transfer crepe to warming plate or rack; repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed.
  11. Set up crepe station with savory fillings and serving utensils.
  12. Encourage guests to assemble crepes fresh with desired fillings and serve warm.

Notes

Resting the batter for at least 30 minutes is key for tender crepes. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Thin batter consistency is crucial to prevent tearing. Grease pan lightly before each crepe. Crepes can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
