Ingredients

• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
• None as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter with no lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate fully.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of additional melted butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet. Quickly lift the skillet and tilt it in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 6

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Use a spatula to carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Serve the crepes warm with your choice of fillings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, honey, jam, or savory options like sautéed vegetables and cheese.
