Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 5 tbsp. butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  1. Step 1

    Place 5 tbsp. butter in a small frying pan and heat it just until it's completely melted. Remove the melted butter from the heat and set it aside to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Pour 1 cup milk into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 cups flour gradually with the mixer set on medium speed, mixing the batter thoroughly with each addition of milk. When the flour is blended in, add 1/4 cup sugar and continue to mix well.

  3. Step 3

    Break two eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them together lightly. Add the whisked eggs to the batter and beat it for several minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the melted butter slowly to the crepe batter, mixing constantly.

  5. Step 5

    Place a strainer over another mixing bowl and pour the batter through the strainer to remove any remaining lumps. Discard the lumpy batter.

  6. Step 6

    Store the batter in the refrigerator until you're ready to make the crepes.

Tips & Warnings
  • Crepe batter can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for several days. If the butter has separated from the batter, just whisk it well to blend it before you cook the crepes.
