Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the eggs in a medium mixing bowl.
- Gradually add flour and sugar, alternating with milk and water, beating with an electric mixer until the batter is smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Refrigerate the batter for at least one hour.
- Heat a non‑stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and pour a small amount of batter to form a thin layer.
- Cook each crepe for about 1{2} 1/2 minutes on each side until lightly golden.
- Repeat until all batter is used, making 20-25 crepes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, consider using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you're out of milk, almond milk or buttermilk can work well as substitutes. Ensure your skillet is adequately heated before pouring in the batter to prevent sticking. Keep the heat on medium to avoid burning the crepes while cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the crepes with a variety of fillings such as fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a delightful dessert. They also pair beautifully with Peggy'S Escalloped Corn as a savory side. Consider a light dusting of powdered sugar or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but this may make them less crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a day in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator and give it a good stir before using. This allows the flavors to meld and can enhance the overall taste of your crepes.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
For a vegan alternative, you can replace each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 cup of silken tofu blended until smooth. Both options will help bind the crepes while maintaining a good texture.
How do I know when the crepes are cooked properly?
The crepes are done when they are lightly golden on both sides and have a slight firmness to them. You can gently lift the edges with a spatula to check the color. Avoid overcooking, as they can become tough.
