Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour (120 grams)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled
butter to coat pan

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. (Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together in a large bowl.) Refrigerate the mixture for one hour or up to 24 hours. This allows the bubbles to subside, which will allow the crepes to cook more evenly.
1 cup all purpose flour, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons butter
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter and allow it to coat the pan. See Note One.
butter
Pour about three tablespoons of batter in to the middle of the pan (see Note Two). Swirl the pan so that the batter distributes evenly around the pan. Cook for 40 seconds. Use a wide spatula to flip the crepe and cook ten more seconds before removing it from the pan. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
If desired, fill the crepe with whipped cream, Nutella, or other toppings. Otherwise, serve topped with berries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar.

Notes

It will likely take practice and patience to learn the right temperature setting to make these. You want them to turn golden brown, you see within about 40 to 45 seconds. They should be easy to flip at that point. On a scale of one to ten on my stovetop, that magical setting is four, but you will need to find it on your stove.
I like to use a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup for these and fill it not quite to the top. Keep in mind that 1/4 cup is four tablespoons, so you are doing one tablespoon shy of that.
