THE BEST CREPES
Our classic crepe is versatile enough to go sweet or savory, just omit the vanilla if going the savory route. The rest time here is key; the flour absorbs the milk as it sits giving you a more tender crepe and golden color.

Steps:
- Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
- Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
- Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
- For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.
CZECH CREPES
A Czech interpretation of the crepe. Slightly thicker than a French-style crepe, so they tend to be a little more filling. My family occasionally had these for 'brinner' (breakfast-for-dinner), but they make a great dessert too. In Czech, these are called 'palacinky.'

Steps:
- Combine flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Beat using an electric mixer, adding more milk if needed, until smooth and thinner than a cake batter. Whisk in butter.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet. Pour a large ladleful of batter into the middle of the pan; swirl around skillet to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until underside of crepe is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crepe; flip crepe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Lay crepes flat and coat with strawberries, yogurt, strawberry jam, honey, and cinnamon sugar. Roll crepes into logs and serve with whipped cream.

PALACINKY (SLOVAK CREPES SUZETTES)
My mother would always make these for us on the weekends. I still make them and love them just as much. We always fill them with either jelly or jam. I made these once for a breakfast get together and also used flavored fruit syrup and whipped cream to go over the rolled palacinki.

Steps:
- Mix flour with milk until just combined. Then, add eggs, one by one, whisking until smooth. If clumps remain, strain with a sieve.
- Add ⅓ - ½ cup of mixture to a medium-size nonstick skillet on medium-high heat.
- Once the top looks cooked and slightly dry, with a few bubbles, carefully flip, cooking the other side slowly.
- Serve with desired toppings.
Tips:
- Use a good quality non-stick pan for cooking the crepes. This will help prevent them from sticking and tearing.
- Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the crepe batter. If the pan is not hot enough, the crepe will not cook evenly.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, just enough to cover the bottom. If you pour too much batter, the crepe will be thick and difficult to cook.
- Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown. If you cook the crepe for too long, it will become dry and brittle.
- Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings, such as cheese, ham, fruit, or vegetables.
