Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a blender or mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sparkling water, melted butter, and salt. For sweet crepes, add vanilla extract and sugar.
  2. Blend or whisk until smooth. Gradually add the flour to avoid lumps.
  3. Optionally, let the batter rest for 30 minutes to improve texture.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and coat with butter.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to create a thin layer.
  3. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and the bottom turns lightly browned. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.
  4. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter as needed.

Notes

To perfect your crepe batter, ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature, don't skip the sparkling water for fluffiness, and rest the batter for best flavor. Experiment with a variety of fillings for personalized crepes!
