Dessert or Savory Crepes
Base Ingredients:
| 4 | eggs, beaten |
| 1⅓ | cups whole milk |
| 2 | tablespoons butter, melted |
| 1 | cup flour |
For Dessert, add:
| ½ | teaspoon salt |
| 2 | tablespoons sugar |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla |
| ¼ | teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg |
For Dinner, add:
| ¾ | teaspoon salt |
| ¼ | teaspoon black pepper |
| ½ | teaspoon herbs like thyme, rosemary, or tarragon |
Whisk together all the ingredients (including either dessert options or dinner options) until smooth. Heat an 8‑inch skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with additional melted butter. Ladle 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into pan and quickly swirl to coat evenly. Flip after a minute or two. Both sides should be lightly browned. Makes about 16.
For dessert, fill with fruit, yogurt, custard, chocolate, nutella, lemon curd; or eat them plain with a squeeze of lemon and dusted with powdered sugar; or drizzle with syrup, chocolate, caramel sauce, or crème anglaise.
For dinner, skip the sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add in black pepper and/or herbs. Fill with shrimp, scallops, or chicken. Dress with a white wine or lemon sauce, or a cream sauce with mushrooms.
