Ingredients

Scale

Crepes:

2 large eggs* (see notes)
2 tablespoons melted butter (can also use dairy-free butter)
1–2 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, optional (omit for savory crepes)

Instructions

Add all listed ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Batter should be quite thin and pour easily. Blend in a splash more milk, if needed. Let mixture sit for a bit until air bubbles dissipate. Too many bubbles in the batter can cause the crepes to tear easily.
When the batter is smooth, heat up a crepe pan and brush with melted butter or coconut oil. I used an 8-inch pan, but you can make them any size. Pour a circle about half the size of the pan (about 1/4 – 1/3 cup) and tilt pan in all directions to spread into a large circle. Let cook for 1–2 minutes, until golden brown, then carefully flip to cook the other side. Cook for an additional 20-30 seconds and then remove crepe to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining batter. Should make 8-10 crepes, depending on the size of your pan.

Notes

*I have made these before without eggs. Eggs help the really thin batter to hold together. Without eggs they just need to be a tad thicker, so I suggest starting with 1/4 cup less liquid, only adding more liquid as needed.
