Ingredients

Crepes

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Butter, for cooking

Sweet Crepes

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 pound strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Savory Crepes

  • 3 tablespoons butter

Steps

Crepes

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, mayonnaise and salt until smooth. If there are lumps pour through a sieve. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. The batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
  3. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium to high heat. Grease the pan with butter.
  4. Scoop 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet, swirling the batter to create an even surface.
  5. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown.
  6. With a spatula, flip and cook the other side for another minute.
  7. Keep warm in the oven, with sheets of parchment paper in between each crepe, until serving.
