Simple Crepes Recipe

Yield: 12 (8-inch) crepes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Rest Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: Approximately 1 hour

Ingredients

• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  
• ½ teaspoon Lakanto Coconut Sugar and Monk Fruit Sweetener
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1½ cups whole milk, room temperature
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

For the crepe batter recipe, add the flour, Lakanto Coconut Sugar and Monk Fruit Sweetener, salt, milk, eggs, and melted butter to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 20–30 seconds.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours). Before cooking, give the batter a quick stir or pulse to ensure a smooth consistency. This resting time is what helps turn a simple crepe batter recipe into the best crepes recipe you’ll return to again and again.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with butter.

Step 3: Cook the Crepes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the skillet to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Cook until the underside is lightly golden and the edges begin to pull away from the pan, about 1 to 1½ minutes.

Step 4: Flip and Finish

Slide an offset spatula under the edge and carefully flip the crepe using your fingers or the spatula. Cook the second side until set and lightly golden, about 30–45 seconds.

Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.

Step 5: Repeat and Cool

Continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Stack the cooked crepes and allow them to cool to room temperature before filling or serving. This easy crepes recipe works beautifully for both sweet and savory fillings.

Tips for Perfect Crepes

Rest the Batter: This allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in tender crepes.

Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: Ensures a smoother batter and even cooking.

Swirl Quickly: Tilt the pan immediately after pouring to create thin, delicate layers.

Keep the Heat Moderate: Too hot, and the crepes may cook unevenly.

Stack to Stay Soft: Stacking helps retain moisture and flexibility.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

Refrigerator: Store cooked crepes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer: Freeze with parchment paper between layers for up to 2 months.

Reheating: Warm gently in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
