🥄 Texture
Thin and tender with a delicate, slightly lacy edge; the center is soft and pliable while the edges can develop a light crispness. Overall mouthfeel is smooth and slightly chewy, allowing toppings to dominate the textural experience.
👃 Aroma
Warm, buttery notes with a gentle toasty smell from the cooked flour and light cooked-egg character. There is a subtle milky sweetness and a faint caramelized scent when edges brown.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Freshly brewed coffee or black tea for a classic pairing; dry sparkling wine or hard apple cider also pairs nicely with sweet or fruity toppings.
🥗 Side Dishes
Fresh fruit (berries, sliced bananas), fruit compote or jam, Nutella or chocolate spread, a dollop of crème fraîche or yogurt, and for a savory option smoked salmon with lemon and herbs.

Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 2
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the egg into it.
- 3
Gradually pour 1 cup of milk into the well while whisking continuously to incorporate the flour and avoid lumps.

Add the melted butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the batter, stirring until well combined.
- 5
Slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk while whisking until the batter reaches a thin, smooth consistency similar to heavy cream.
- 6
Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
- 7
Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Lightly butter the surface.
- 8
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan and immediately tilt the pan in circular motions to spread the batter thinly and evenly.
- 9
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the bottom is light golden, then flip the crêpe carefully using a thin spatula.
- 10
Cook the other side for approximately 30 seconds until set.
- 11
Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
