How to Prepare Classic Crepes:

Step 1:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and melted butter, and mix until the batter is smooth.

Step 2:
Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan in a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Step 3:
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, flip, and cook the other side. Serve hot.
