RECIPE: sugarspunrun.com/crepes-recipe/
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour 125g
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar omit if making savory crepes
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk 236ml
¼ cup water 60ml
3/4 tsp vanilla extract omit if making savory crepes
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:22 If using a blender: Combine all ingredients. Blend for 10 seconds. Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender then blend again for another 5 seconds. Cover and place in refrigerator to rest for 30-60 minutes (or as long as 48 hours).
00:33 If not using a blender: Sift or whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl to break up any clumps. Make a well in the center and add eggs, about half the milk, and the vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
02:35 Whisk in remaining milk, water, and melted butter until well-combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes. (This allows the bubbles to escape from the batter and makes the crepes less likely to tear when cooking.)
03:55 Once the crepe batter has chilled (no matter which way you prepared it), heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with oil or melted butter (I prefer butter). The pan should be warm before you add any batter (you should be able to feel the heat radiating off of it if you hold your palm several inches over the pan). Stir the crepe batter once more briefly before proceeding.
04:44 Lift the pan off of the heat and portion about 1/4 cup of crepe batter onto the pan. Gently tilt and swirl the pan so the batter forms a thin circle (about 8" diameter) and return to heat.
05:07 Cook until the crepe begins to look dry and the edges have set (about 45 seconds) and then use a spatula to flip the crepe. Cook on the other side until a light golden brown.
05:35 Transfer to a plate and serve¹.
Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with additional oil or butter as needed.
Notes
¹Sometimes, to keep the crepes warm, I'll preheat my oven to its lowest setting (around 200F) and line a baking sheet with foil. I'll place the cooked crepes on the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm until I've cooked all of the batter.

If I am using a 9 inch pan can I use 1/3 cup of batter per crepe?

[@joseantoniodelaguilarodrig6958]

Was the water added at some point? I dont want to add it if not needed. I see 1/4 c of water on the recipe, but not in the video. They look delicious btw. Thank you

When I tried this recipe it tasted like McDonald’s pankackes But I’m not mad lol I love this try this recipe it looked just like a pancake but flatter it was DELICIOUS 😋

[@pakistancricket453]

Do you prefer blender or hand mix? And how many crepes does this recipe make?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Blender for sure. It will make about 12 eight inch crepes. :)

[@mariabustos4529]

I just ran out of whole milk but I do have almond milk, would it be fine and still work if I use almond milk instead of whole milk?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I think that will work. 😊

[@jonalynn8711]

Hello! In the video you said you used 1 1/14 cup of milk, but in the ingredients description it’s says 1 cup of milk and 1/4 of water. Would it work either way ?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes it works either way. I prefer it with the water. 😊

[@jonalynn8711]

Thank you! I will be trying these today 😊

[@gloriapark448]

Can you use oil instead of butter at the end?

[@SugarSpunRun]

For brushing the pan? Absolutely. 😊

[@yanin88]

Can u use water instead of milk

[@SugarSpunRun]

I don’t recommend using all water. You really need the fat from the milk here for flavor and texture. I think they could still turn out if you use water but they will definitely be bland and maybe even a little rubbery

[@newday802]

I ❤ Crepes!!! just got came back from out of The Country and crepes are their only pancakes.They eat them with Honey.I will never go back to a Fat Pancake again..🤣

[@SugarSpunRun]

They're so good!

[@avarexel1045]

Do we need to wait an hour after making the batter or is it optional

[@SugarSpunRun]

So, you could skip the rest time, but I really recommend waiting at least 30 minutes before making your crepes. Resting allows any bubbles in the batter to escape and gives the gluten time to relax. Our ingredients (namely our flour and our liquids) have time to fully meld together, resulting in more tender (and non-rubbery) crepes that are less likely to tear when you’re turning them

[@avarexel1045]

Is it ok just to use milk without water

[@SugarSpunRun]

For best results I wouldn’t recommend it.

[@polkablondebeautychickadee8668]

I don't have vanilla extract but can I use almond extract?

[@SugarSpunRun]

You will want to use significantly less almond extract as it is much more potent. :)

Please look up how to pronounce Crepe

[@SugarSpunRun]

This is how we say it in America 🙂

[@devroombagchus7460]

Why do you pronounce it as if it is creepy? The vowel sounds like in ¨there, their, where.You also don't pronounce the s. It sounds funny if you say that you would like a creep. (creepo). As usual in the USA, your creeps seem creepily thick. They should not resemble big pancakes.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Did you even watch the video? I'm getting some creepy vibes here...

[@devroombagchus7460]

@@SugarSpunRunTaking people who use a pseudonym seriously is a waste of time. You proved it by posing a redundant question. I think it shows ignorance and/or arrogance if someone makes a video of how to prepare a foreign dish, without even knowing how to pronounce the name.

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤦🏼‍♀️

[@lizdubyak2538]

yeah, what a waste of time..there are other recipes for crepes that you dont have to let the batter rest....I will pass on this recipe

[@SugarSpunRun]

I bet they aren’t as good either. Have a great day!

[@pakistancricket453]

I would rather wait and get a better crepe then being impatient and get a worse one

[@shaimaaibrahim8680]

It tastes so good it might be long but it tastes amazing and patience is key if you do the instructions right it will taste amazing. Tho I would rather wait and get an amazing crepe than just being impatient and end up with a bad crepe. (Just like what Pakistan Cricket said)
