Steps:
- Melt the Butter and set aside to cool down.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Plain Flour, Caster Sugar and Salt. Create a well in the middle of the bowl.
- Mix the melted Butter and Milk (see note 1), then pour about 2/3 of the batter into the well. Mix well with a whisk until you get a thick batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Eggs (see note 2), then add it to the Batter. Whisk until combined and smooth - you should not have big lumps anymore.
- Add the rest of the Butter/Milk Liquid and whisk well until all combined. You should have a rather liquid batter (see note 3). Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to rest for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours (see note 4).
- Heat up a Non-Stick Skillet or Crepe Pan on medium/high heat and grease it with a little bit of butter.
- Pour some batter over the Pan: - if using a regular pan, hold the pan on an angle while pouring the batter and continuously turn the pan around in a rotating movement to spread the batter- if using a crepe pan, use the crepe spreader to spread the batter, doing one circular movement from the centre of the pan
- Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges of the crepe start to lift up. Use a wooden spatula to go under the crepe and flip it over. Cook the other side for about 1 minute.
- Place the cooked crepe on a plate and repeat until you have cooked all the batter. Adjust the temperature of the stove if needed, and re-grease the pan between each crepe if they seem to stick to it.

Steps:
- Place the milk and eggs in a jug/bowl. Whisk to combine (you should have about 2 cups of liquid).
- Add the oil or butter and whisk it in.
- Place the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
- Add about ¾ - 1 cup of the liquid and mix gently to form a smooth paste. This should not take more than a few seconds. Take care not to over-mix.
- Add the rest of the liquid and mix to form a smooth, watery batter.
- Cover the batter and let it rest for at least 20 - 30 minutes. The batter can be kept in the fridge overnight as well (or upto 2 days)
- Add the ingredients into the blender. Add the flour last. Blend for a few seconds until you have a smooth batter. You can use a stick blender as well for this purpose.
- Cover the batter and let it rest for at least 20 - 30 minutes. The batter can be kept in the fridge overnight as well (or upto 2 days)
- Preheat a 10 inch non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Brush a layer of butter on the heated pan. I used a silicone brush, but you can use a butter soaked paper towel or cloth as well.
- Always mix the batter first, before you make each crepe. This is to make sure the batter is uniformly mixed.
- Pour ¼ cup of the batter into the hot pan, and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Swirl and spread the batter along the edge of the pan first and then fill the middle with the remaining crepe batter. Make sure the batter is as evenly spread as possible.
- Place the pan back on the heat to let the crepe cook.
- For extra soft crepes - cook the crepes only until they are just set at the surface (about 30 seconds) and there's no browning on the edges. You can flip over the crepe gently, and cook for a few seconds on the other side (optional), or remove the crepe from pan and place it on a plate.
- For classic crepes - cook the crepes until the edges are starting to brown become a little crisp (about 40 seconds). Flip the crepes over and cook for a further 10 - 15 seconds on the other side until the crepes have caramelized spots.
- Repeat until all the batter is used up (remember to mix the batter each time).
- Stack the cooked crepes on a plate or wire rack.
- If the crepes are no longer warm when you're ready to serve them, place another plate over your stack of crepes and microwave for about 30 seconds until the crepes are warm. Then remove the second plate quickly so that the crepes don't become soggy with steam/moisture.
- Serve the crepes with any kind of filling you like. Or you can follow the steps below for lemon and sugar crepes.
- Place a crepe on a plate or flat surface.
- Sprinkle about 1 tsp of sugar over one half of the crepe and fold over in half. Then fold over one more time into quarters. Repeat with all the crepes.
- Serve the French crepes with fresh lemon slices (that can be squeezed over the crepes before eating), and whipped cream.

BREAKFAST CREPES
When she was in her early 20s, my mother worked with a Frenchwoman named Jackie. One day, my mother mentioned that she was looking forward to trying a crêpe recipe that she had found. "Only a French person can teach you how to make crêpes,"

Steps:
- In a blender, combine milk and eggs. Mix on medium-high speed until foamy, about 10 seconds. Turn blender to low speed and remove feed top. With blender going, add sugar and salt. Replace feed top and blend on high speed for a few seconds, then turn blender back to low. In the same manner, add butter, brandy, and vanilla, replacing feed top and blending for several seconds after each addition. Turn blender off. Add flour all at once and blend until just combined.
- Place crêpe pan over moderately high heat. With flexible spatula, spread a tiny amount of butter in pan (an alternative method is to brush the pan with melted butter using a pastry brush) and heat until butter just begins to smoke. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter into the pan. As you pour, quickly tilt the pan in all directions to spread a thin layer of batter across the bottom. Pour in just enough batter to cover the pan.
- Cook crêpe over moderately high heat until bubbles just begin to form on the exposed surface, about one to two minutes. Lift up the edge to check the cooking process - if the crêpe starts to burn before it is cooked through, turn down the heat. If it is not nicely browned after two minutes, turn up the heat.
- When underside of crêpe is browned, flip and cook another minute or less, until other side is browned. Remove from pan and keep warm in the oven, loosely covered with foil.
- Grease pan with a very small amount of butter and repeat process. Continue until all batter is used, stacking cooked crêpes on a plate in the oven. To serve, sprinkle each crêpe with sugar or spread with jelly and fold or roll up.
CHEESY CHICKEN CREPES

When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between., For filling, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms and onions in butter until mushrooms are tender; set aside. In a 2-qt. saucepan, combine the flour and rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the mayonnaise until blended. Cook over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes. Gradually stir in 1-1/2 cups milk. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add 1 cup cheese; stir until melted. Remove from the heat; add chicken and the mushroom mixture. , Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture down the center of each crepe. Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.

- Prepare the crepe batter: Simply mix all the ingredients. You can do that with a blender, hand mixer, an immersion blender, food processor, or even by hand (with a whisk). I prefer to mix the batter with a blender – it's the quickest way to mix the ingredients and the batter is more smooth. If you’ll whisk the batter by hand it will have small lumps, but this is also ok and your crepes will be fine.
- Leave the batter to rest: Cover the bowl with plastic foil or a kitchen cloth and leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes.
- Brush the pan with a small amount of butter (I’m only adding the butter before the first crepe, but you can brush the pan with butter between each crepe if you wish) over high heat. The pan should be well heated. Holding the pan in one hand (it shouldn’t be on the burner) and the bowl or blender jar in the other, pour in a small amount of batter, tilting and swirling the pan simultaneously until the batter evenly coats the bottom of the pan. Place the pan on the burner and cook for about 30 seconds.
