Suggested fillings

• Sweet Crepes
  -sugar and fresh squeezed lemon

• Savoury Crepes
  -ham + cheese
  -cooked spinach +ham + cheese
  -feta cheese + fried egg

1. Add all the wet ingredients (except the melted butter) to a blender and pulse one or two times. Add the melted butter and pulse once more. (you can also use a whisk + bowl)

2. Add the flour by heaping spoonful so it doesn't lump and blend for 8-10 seconds. Don't overdo the blending or the crepes will be rubbery. It's okay if there are a few little lumps in the batter, resist the urge to keep blending or whisking the sh*t out of that batter.

4. Put the batter in the fridge to come together. 30 minute minimum. If you rest it overnight and it seems reeeally thick, you can add a touch of water and whisk to thin it out.

5. Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium-medium hot. Be prepared to brush with oil between each crepe. 

HOT TIP: Drop a little tester batter onto the oiled pan and if it burns or puffs up into a rippled looking tent shape the pan is way too hot.

6. Oil the pan, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the centre of the pan while swirling the pan to spread the batter out into a thin circle. If it is a weird shape...that's okay :) 

HOT TIP: If the batter slides and crumples up into the corners of your pan while swirling, you added too much oil to the pan.

7. Once the batter stops moving, it is cooking. You have to wait about 45 seconds and the edges will start to peel and look crispy. You can lift the edges with your spatula and peek underneath the crepe to see if it looks super pale or if it's a light golden. Golden = you're golden to flip!

8. Flip DAT SH*T!~ Oh yeah. You pro. As it cooks on the other side you can add toppings if you want them to melt. I like my cheese melty and my sugar all melty too, but you can make a stack of crepes and just build them later.

Cook that crepe for another 30-45 seconds and once it is golden on both sides you're done!
