First some people might opt to use a blender which you certainly can use. In that case just add everything to that and blend it all together. I am using a big bowl and hand mixer. Add your eggs, milk, and oil (or you can use 1 tablespoon of butter which you will melt before adding). Then turn on your mixer until it is well blended.

Now we add our flour, salt, and if we are making sweet crepes, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of sugar. If you are making a savory crepe, don't add the vanilla extract or the sugar, and add an extra 1/2 tsp. of salt. Now mix it all together until nice and runny.

Turn the heat in between medium and medium-hi. Now we add a little bit of butter to our non-stick skillet or crepe pan or optionally crepe maker. Next we raise the pan off the heat and tilt it. I like to use a ladle for this next part. My ladle holds about 1/4 cup of batter, pour some batter onto the pan. Pour it in the middle of the pan and then tilt the pan in a circle like motion, so the batter covers the whole bottom of the pan, then just place the pan on the heat again. We will cook it for about 1 minute or so on this side, until the top gets nice and dry.

Next we flip it over after a minute or so and then cook the other side for about 10 to 20 seconds, then flip it one more time and you will see nice cook marks on your crepe. Now you are done and you can stack them on a plate. They won't stick together so don't worry about that.

Now it is time to add some toppings! A classic method is to add some nutella to the crepe then fold it over once and then over one more time making a triangle shape. Then you can top it off with powdered sugar, whipped cream, syrup, or just eat it as is.

Another method is to add whatever you like to the inside, in this case, cool whip and strawberries, then you roll up the crepe. Then top it off with whatever you like. There you go, super easy to make crepes which taste amazing!
