Classic Crepes ### Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs.
Gradually add in the milk, continuously whisking to prevent lump formation.
Stir in the melted butter, sugar (if using), and salt. The batter should be smooth and slightly thin. Let it rest for about 30 minutes to an hour.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling it around to create a round, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side.
Remove the crepe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes neatly.
Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings, whether it be whipped cream, fruit, Nutella, or even savory options like ham and cheese.

Enjoy your homemade crepes with family and friends, and watch as they rave about this delightful dish. Perfect for any occasion, these crepes will quickly become a staple in your kitchen!
