HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, and sugar until smooth. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

02

Heat a 8-inch non-stick crêpe pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with melted butter.

03

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, tilting and swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer.

04

Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the crêpe can be easily lifted. Flip the crêpe and cook for another 30-60 seconds, until lightly browned.

05

Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes as you go.

06

Serve the warm crêpes folded or rolled, topped with fresh mixed berries and a dollop of crème fraîche.

For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes before cooking for even more tender crêpes.
