Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk, plus more if needed
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, water, and salt until well combined and smooth.
• Add the flour and melted butter, then whisk vigorously until the batter is lump-free and has a thin, pourable consistency.
• If the batter feels too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it spreads easily in the pan.
• Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion so the batter coats the surface evenly.
• Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the surface looks set and the bottom is lightly golden.
• Loosen the edges with a spatula, flip the crepe, and cook the other side for about 1 minute until lightly browned.
• Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan as needed.
• Serve warm with your choice of sweet or savory fillings such as fruit, whipped cream, chocolate spread, chicken, cheese, or vegetables.
