FAQ

Let the batter rest.. If you can make the batter the night before, or 8 hours before you plan to make crêpes, they will be better than straight away. This resting period allows the gluten in the flour to develop and bond to the milk and eggs, and this yields a more complex flavor.
The main difference is that pancake batter has a raising agent in it, such as baking powder or baking soda, and crepe batter does not. This means that pancakes are thicker and fluffy while crêpes are thin and flat.
What Are Crêpes Made Of?
  • Flour: These basic French crêpes start with a cup of all-purpose flour.
  • Eggs: Eggs act as a binder, which means they help hold the batter together.
  • Milk: Milk adds moisture and keeps the crêpes tender.
  • Water: Water helps thin the batter.
  • Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor.
The batter should be refrigerated for at least an hour. It'll keep for up to 2 days, so you can make it ahead of time (though crepes can also be cooked ahead). This chilling time allows the flour to absorb the liquid and allows the gluten to relax, so there aren't too many bubbles or a rubbery texture.
