This easy crepe recipe will prove to you just how easy making French crepes are.

This easy crepe recipe will prove to you just how easy making French crepes are. When you're whisking the ingredients together, you'll notice that your crepe batter will be a lot thinner in consistency than pancake batter.
Pancake batter typically falls off the spoon slowly in a ribbon-like fashion, whereas crepe batter is much soupier.
In a blender, puree flour, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and butter until smooth, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 1 day
stir for a few seconds before using.
Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Lightly coat with butter. Quickly pour 1/4 cup batter into center of skillet, tilting and swirling pan until batter evenly coats bottom. Cook until crepe is golden in places on bottom and edges begin to lift from pan, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Lift one edge of crepe with an offset spatula, then use your fingers to gently flip crepe. Cook on second side until just set and golden in places on bottom, about 45 seconds. Slide crepe onto a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat with remaining batter, coating pan with more butter as needed, and stacking crepes directly on top of one another. Let cool to room temperature before using, wrapping in plastic wrap and refrigerating up to 5 days, or freezing up to 1 month.
