Ingredients for the Perfect Light Crepe Batter:

- 1 cup milk (or water for a lighter version)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
How to Make Savory Crepe Batter:
- In a blender, combine the 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk (or water), salt, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Blend well until you have a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease it with a drizzle of oil.
- Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the skillet, swirling it to spread evenly.
- Watch closely: when small bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges begin to lift, flip the crepe. Continue cooking until both sides are lightly golden.
Pro Tips for Success:
A valuable tip to ensure perfect crepes is to lightly grease the skillet before each pour. This prevents sticking and makes flipping much easier. Also, using water instead of milk creates a lighter, thinner crepe that works beautifully with savory fillings.
