  • Combine your dry ingredients and make a well in the center for your eggs. Add in your eggs and gently incorporate the flour until the eggs are mostly combined.
    Note: If you are not going to let your batter rest and want to make your crepes right away, combine your milk and water and heat up in the microwave or stovetop until warm. You can skip this step if letting your batter rest.
    Mixing eggs and flour in a glass bowl with a whisk on a wooden surface. Perfect for baking recipes.
  • Add in your butter. Add in your milk and water mixture ½ cup at a time making sure to combine well in between. This helps avoid lumps.
    Note: If you still see lumps in your batter, just run it through a sieve.
