THE BEST CREPES
Our classic crepe is versatile enough to go sweet or savory, just omit the vanilla if going the savory route. The rest time here is key; the flour absorbs the milk as it sits giving you a more tender crepe and golden color.

Steps:
- Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
- Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
- Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
- For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a big bowl, vigorously whisk the flour, milk, water, eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and salt until the batter is completely smooth. Allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before making the crêpes.
- Use some of the remaining melted butter to grease a crêpe pan , large skillet, or nonstick skillet. Heat up over low-medium heat.
- Add 3 tablespoons of batter to the pan and swirl it until the bottom of the pan is covered with batter.
- Cook the crêpe for 1 minute, or until the crêpe is slightly moist on top and golden underneath.
- Loosen the edges of the crêpe, slide a spatula under it, and then gently flip it. If you don't have a spatula, use your fingers, a fork, or carefully flip it in the air using just the pan.
- Cook for 1 minute and transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan with melted butter every time. Set aside.
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, melt half of the butter until it foams.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle half of the sugar over the melted butter.
- Carefully add half of the orange liqueur. The mixture will ignite.
- When the flame goes out, add each crêpe to the pan to coat both sides in the orange syrup.
- Fold the crêpes into quarters or roll them up.
- Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet, remove it from the heat, and add the remaining sugar and Grand Marnier.
- For serving, place 1 or 2 crêpes per person on a plate, top with a scoop of ice cream, and drizzle with orange syrup. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy.

Tips:
- Use the right pan. A crepe pan or a well-seasoned skillet is ideal for making crepes. The pan should be large enough to allow the batter to spread out thinly.
- Make sure the batter is thin. The batter should be thin enough to pour easily, but not so thin that it runs like water. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk or water.
- Heat the pan over medium heat. The pan should be hot enough to cook the crepes quickly, but not so hot that they burn.
- Pour the batter into the pan in a thin, even layer. Use a ladle or a spoon to pour the batter into the pan, and swirl the pan to spread the batter out evenly.
- Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side. The crepes should be cooked until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Serve the crepes immediately. Crepes can be served with a variety of fillings, such as fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
Conclusion:
Crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can make perfect crepes at home. These tips will help you make crepes that are thin, light, and flavorful.
