In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, and egg until smooth and free of lumps. Allow the batter to rest for at least 15 minutes (or up to an hour in the refrigerator) to allow the gluten to relax. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

06 Step

Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes on top of each other and keeping them warm under a clean kitchen towel. (Repeat step 3-6)
For best results, use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking.
Resting the batter is crucial for achieving a tender crêpe. Don't skip this step!
If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.
Crêpes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
