Homemade Crêpes

1. In a medium bowl, combine the Caputo “00” Baking Flour, eggs, melted butter, water, and milk. For sweet crêpes, add the granulated sugar. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
2. Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. There is no need to grease the pan, as the melted butter in the batter helps create delicate, silky crêpes without excess oil or greasiness.
3. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter into the center of the hot skillet. Immediately lift and swirl the pan to distribute the batter into a thin, even layer, covering the bottom of the skillet.
4. Allow the crêpe to cook for approximately 2 minutes, until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the opposite side.
5. Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the finished crêpes as you go.
6. Fill or top your crêpes with your favorite sweet or savory ingredients. Fold, roll, or serve them open-faced, and enjoy!
