Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, water, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add flour and butter and whisk vigorously until smooth. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a blender and process in short bursts until smooth.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each crêpe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Cook until the top of the crêpe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen the crêpe, then flip and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Serve hot.
