They are thin, tender, and perfectly sweet, making them a versatile base for various fillings and toppings.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, and the melted 1/4 cup of butter until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps the flour fully absorb the liquid, resulting in more tender crepes.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil. You can use a paper towel to evenly spread it.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, tilting the pan in a circular motion so the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly browned.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula, and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side until lightly browned.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring you lightly grease the pan between crepes if necessary.
- Serve the crepes warm. You can sprinkle additional sugar on top or fill them with your favorite fillings such as fresh fruits, jams, or Nutella.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as this will help the batter mix more smoothly.
- To achieve the perfect crepe texture, let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid.
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan to prevent sticking and to make flipping easier.
- Lightly butter the pan before cooking each crepe to enhance flavor and prevent tearing.
- Pour just enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan, swirling it around to create an even, thin layer.
- Cook the crepe until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned, then gently flip using a spatula or your fingers.
- Keep cooked crepes warm in a low oven (about 200°F or 93°C) while you finish cooking the rest of the batch.
Your butter and sugar crepes are now ready to be served! These delicate, golden-brown crepes make an excellent base for a variety of toppings, from fresh fruit and whipped cream to chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy these crepes warm, and share them with your loved ones for a sweet and satisfying meal.
