1. In your blender add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon sugar if you want that little bit of sweetness.

2. Blend everything together on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Best Crepes Recipe (with Video) Substitutions and Variations

You can swap 1 cup of all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour or spelt flour if you like a nuttier taste. Just note that the texture might be a bit different.
If you dont have eggs, try a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 3 tablespoons of water as a decent substitute.
You can use almond milk, soy milk, or even oat milk instead of 1 cup of regular milk to give your crepes a unique twist.
For the unsalted butter, melted coconut oil or margarine works just as fine for a different flavor profile.

Pro Tips

1. Let the batter chill for a bit after mixing. This waiting time really helps the flour soak up all the liquids and makes your crepes come out way smoother.
2. Don’t overheat your pan. Keeping it on a medium heat prevents the crepes from burning and helps them cook evenly.
3. When you pour the batter, try using a measuring cup to keep each crepe the same size. It might feel a bit extra at first, but it really makes a difference in consistency.
4. Tilt the pan quickly and evenly when adding the batter. It might seem tricky, but giving it a good spin makes sure your crepes are thin and spread out nicely.
