Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Combine in a large bowl or blender and mix or blend until smooth: 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour; 1 cup (235g) milk; ½ cup (120g) lukewarm water; 4 large eggs; 4 tablespoons (2 oz or 55g) butter, melted; ½ teaspoon salt
-
Step 2.
Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Have ready: 2 tablespoons butter
-
Step 3.
Add ½ teaspoon butter to the skillet and swirl to coat. Pour enough batter into the skillet to cover the bottom with a very thin coating (about ¼ cup). Tilt and rotate the skillet to cover the bottom with batter, and cook until the crêpe bubbles and the bottom is lightly browned, 1 to 1 ½ minutes. Turn the crêpes with a long, thin spatula or flip it with a quick flick of the wrist. Cook the second side until browned (it will not brown evenly but will be nicely speckled). Slide the crêpe onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter after cooking each crêpe.

Step 4.
Prepare the batter as above, adding 3 tablespoons (35g) sugar and decreasing the salt to ⅛ teaspoon.
