Steps:
- In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
- Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.

Steps:
- In a blender, add the milk, egg, sugar, flour, salt, and 2 teaspoons of the melted butter. (Reserve the rest of the butter for greasing the crepe pan).
- Puree the mixture for about 30 seconds on high, and then turn off the blender and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place your crepe pan over medium heat, and brush with some of the melted butter.
- Ladle 1/2 cup of the batter into the crepe pan, and then tilt the pan until the surface is covered with the batter.
- Cook the crepe on the first side until it easily releases when you run a spatula around all of the edges. Loosen the entire crepe with the spatula before attempting to flip.
- Flip the crepe, and use the spatula to smooth it out (in case it wrinkled when you flipped). Continue to cook on the second side until golden brown spots form.
- Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Cook the rest of the batter (you should get 2 more crepes from the batter).
- Serve the crepes with your favorite fillings (sweet or savory!), or place them (with paper towels in between) into a storage bag and freeze them until needed.

Tips:
- Use a good quality non-stick crepe pan. This will help to ensure that your crepes cook evenly and don't stick to the pan.
- Make sure your batter is thin and smooth. Lumpy batter will not spread evenly and will result in unevenly cooked crepes.
- Heat your pan over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, your crepes will cook too quickly and will be dry and crispy. If the pan is too cold, your crepes will not cook evenly and will be doughy.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan and swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the crepes from cooking evenly.
- Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Do not flip the crepes too early, as this will cause them to break.
- Serve the crepes immediately with your favorite fillings. Crepes can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory ingredients, such as cheese, ham, eggs, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can easily make perfect crepes at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crepes a try!
