How to Make Homemade French Crepes
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Sift in the flour and sugar, then whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan, then immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
- Cook for about 30 seconds, or until the edges begin to lift. Carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite sweet or savory fillings.

- A nonstick skillet or crepe pan makes flipping easier.
- Lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking without over-browning.
