Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and black pepper.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and water.
3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
4
Stir in the melted butter. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid.
5
Lightly grease a skillet or crêpe pan with olive oil or butter and heat over medium heat.
6
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot skillet, swirling to spread it evenly into a thin circle.
7
Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another minute on the other side.
8
Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crêpes to keep them warm.
9
Fill with your favorite savory ingredients, such as cheese, ham, spinach, or mushrooms.
10
Serve warm, with freshly ground black pepper and a knob of extra butter.
