Steps:
- In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
- Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.
BOB EVANS CREPES
This is my incredibly easy version of the fruit topped filled crepes served at Bob Evans. I'm not posting the crepe recipe, there's already over 400 posted here, pick one you like. Splenda in place of sugar works just fine. Adjust sugar and cream in filling to taste.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepped. Crepes require quick movements, so having everything ready is crucial.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This resting time helps develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in more tender and flavorful crepes.
- Temperature Control: Use a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Too-high heat can burn the crepes before they are cooked through.
- Thin Batter: The batter should be thin and pourable, similar to milk consistency. If it's too thick, add more liquid (milk or water).
- Swirl the Pan: As you pour the batter into the pan, quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly, creating a thin layer.
- Flip at the Right Time: The edges of the crepe will start to curl up and the surface will look dry when it's time to flip. Use a spatula to gently flip the crepe.
- Cook Evenly: Cook the crepe for about 30 seconds on each side until it's golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can prevent even cooking.
- Keep Crepes Warm: Place cooked crepes on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and prevent them from drying out.
- Serve with Your Favorite Fillings: Crepes are versatile and can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory ingredients. Some popular fillings include Nutella, berries, whipped cream, cheese, ham, and eggs.
