THE BEST CREPES

Steps:

• Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
• Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
• Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
• For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.

CZECH CREPES

Steps:

• Combine flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Beat using an electric mixer, adding more milk if needed, until smooth and thinner than a cake batter. Whisk in butter.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet. Pour a large ladleful of batter into the middle of the pan; swirl around skillet to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until underside of crepe is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crepe; flip crepe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Lay crepes flat and coat with strawberries, yogurt, strawberry jam, honey, and cinnamon sugar. Roll crepes into logs and serve with whipped cream.

FRENCH CREPES

Steps:

• Put the flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well. Pour in the slightly beaten eggs into the well. Stir with a fork until mixed.
• Stir in the rum. Add the milk slowly, stirring constantly with a fork. The batter should be smooth, so any lumps need to the broken up and blended inches Let the batter sit for 30 minutes before proceeding.
• Brush a crepe or heavy frying pan (any size) with melted butter.
• When the pan is hot, pour in just enough batter to thinly cover the bottom of the pan. Tilt the pan so the base is completely covered with batter. Cook crepe until golden on the bottom (1 minute or so). Flip with a metal spatula, and cook until the second side is golden.
• Transfer crepe to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Repeat the cooking process until the batter is used.
• Unfilled crepes can be well wrapped and frozen.
• The recipe can be halved, but then use only two eggs.
