Today we bring you the best crepe recipe ever, perfected in the Cookify kitchen for weeks.
Unlike American pancakes, crepe batter has an almost liquid consistency, which is why they are usually cooked in a nonstick pan to prevent them from sticking and breaking when turned.
This recipe is ideal for both sweet and savory crepes, so we've decided to present both options so you can choose the one you like best.

How to prepare crepes
〉Since it took you so little time to prepare the rest of the dough, don't be lazy and do me a favor and get the strainer.
〉Remember, the first crepe always turns out bad—it's no joke, science says so. The first crepe absorbs excess fat from the pan, preventing it from becoming smooth, even, and well-cooked.
〉Savory crepe: Brie, caramelized onion and ham.
〉Sweet crepe: Nutella, strawberries and cream.
Video recipe for crepes
Below we show you how to prepare the yogurt cake following the recipe step by step.
Savory crepes recipe
For our savory crepe, we suggest the classic ham and cheese recipe with a modern twist.
To prepare it, place a few triangles of Brie cheese on the crepe while it's still in the pan to let it melt. Next, add a couple of tablespoons of caramelized or sautéed onion, followed by a slice of cooked ham. Finally, fold the crepe with a spatula and serve with a light salad.
Sweet crepes recipe
Among sweet crepe recipes, there's always a winner: Nutella crepes with strawberries and cream.
To prepare it, add a couple of tablespoons of Nutella to the crepe and let it heat for a few seconds over the heat. This gives the Nutella time to melt and makes it much easier to spread. Place the sliced strawberries on top and remove the crepe from the heat.
Finally, add the whipped cream just before serving to keep it firm, and if you want a crunchy touch, decorate it with some chopped hazelnut pieces.
Gluten-free crepes and buckwheat crepes
Whether you want to avoid gluten or prefer a healthier option, you can enjoy this recipe by simply substituting the flour with gluten-free flour or buckwheat flour. Both options yield excellent results.
Can crepe batter be stored in the refrigerator?
Crepe batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Due to the egg and milk content in the batter, we advise against consuming it after two days. The best way to store it is to pour it into a covered container with as little air as possible, rather than covering it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
In any case, our recipe is designed to make only 5 crepes, so it's very unlikely that you'll have any leftover batter.
