Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
Optional additions:
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sweet crepes)
1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
Add eggs and whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour in milk and water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Mix until the batter is thin and silky.
Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.

Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift slightly.
Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds.
Remove and repeat with remaining batter.
