Simple Homemade Crepes

These simple homemade crepes are delicious, thin, and delicate with buttery crisp edges. They make for a quick and delightful breakfast or brunch treat but can really be enjoyed at any time of the day.

You can have pretty much any toppings of your liking with these crepes like fruit, maple syrup, Nutella, gruyere cheese, mushroom gravy, etc.

Making these crepes is quite quick and easy. Be sure to let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes at room temperature or even up to an hour in the fridge. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid and gives the gluten a chance to relax so your crepes come out tender instead of chewy.
