How to make the perfect crepe?

Crepes are buttery, delicate and thin. Crepes are simple to make with basic ingredients like flour eggs, milk and a touch of sweetness. The best flour to use is all-purpose flour, but you can also use rice flour or almond flour. Crepes do not use baking soda or baking powder like pancakes.

The ideal crepe batter should be runny thin batter, so do not worry about the consistency of the batter. All you need is a smooth lump-free batter. You can whisk the batter or even easier use a stick blender or regular blender. Add all the ingredients and pulse for 10-15 times. For a smooth batter strain using a mesh strainer. Let it rest for half an hour before making the crepes
