Crepes
Thin, delicate French pancakes whisked into a batter that rests before cooking so the gluten relaxes and the bubbles settle - resting for at least 30 minutes, plus a pinch of salt, is what most quick versions skip, though both make a real difference in tenderness and flavor.

Ingredients
- •1 cup flour
- •1/2 tsp salt
- •1 tbsp sugar
- •2 eggs

- •2 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan
Steps
- 1.Whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
- 2.Cover and let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes - resting relaxes the gluten and lets air bubbles rise out, so the crepes stay thin and tender instead of chewy.
- 3.Heat a lightly greased nonstick pan over medium heat.
- 4.Pour a thin layer of batter, swirling to coat, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side.
- 5.Fill with your favorite sweet or savory filling.
