Welcome to the world of French cuisine! Today, we'll be learning how to make the perfect classic French crêpes. Get ready to impress your taste buds and your friends with this delicious recipe.

First, let's gather our ingredients. You'll need 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and a pinch of salt. That's it! Simple, right?
3.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs until well combined. Slowly add in the milk and continue whisking until the batter is smooth. Then, add in the melted butter and salt and mix again.
4.
Now, it's time to let the batter rest for 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax and give you a smoother and more tender crêpe. Use this time to prepare your toppings and fillings.
5.
After 30 minutes, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute.
6.
Repeat this process until all the batter is used up. You should have about 8-10 crêpes, depending on the size of your pan. Don't worry if the first one or two don't turn out perfectly, it takes a bit of practice.
7.
Now, let's get creative with our toppings and fillings. You can go sweet with Nutella, fresh fruits, or whipped cream. Or, you can go savory with ham, cheese, and mushrooms. The possibilities are endless!
8.
To serve, fold the crêpes in half and then in half again to form a triangle. Top with your desired toppings and enjoy! These crêpes are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.

Now that you've mastered the classic French crêpes, you can experiment with different flavors and fillings. Try adding cocoa powder for chocolate crêpes or herbs for a savory twist.
