Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and beer until well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Beat in the vegetable oil until the batter is smooth. (1 minute)

04

Step

Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour. This allows the gluten to relax and the batter to fully hydrate. If the batter becomes too thick after resting, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches a pourable consistency. (60 minutes)

05

Step

Heat a crepe pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot pan, immediately tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle. (1 minute)

07

Step

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the top of the crepe appears dry and the edges begin to lift. Gently loosen the edges with a spatula, then flip the crepe and cook for another 15-30 seconds, or until lightly golden brown. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate lined with paper towels to keep warm. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go. (Varies based on batter remaining)

For a sweeter crepe, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the batter.
Experiment with different types of beer to find your favorite flavor profile. Darker beers will impart a more robust flavor.
Crepes can be filled with sweet or savory fillings. Try fresh fruit and whipped cream, Nutella, ham and cheese, or sautéed vegetables.
Leftover crepes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.

    The beer makes the crepes really soft and delicate, not like anything I've made before!

    I made a batch of these for brunch and they were a huge hit! I served them with a variety of sweet and savory toppings.

  • Porter Tillman

    The resting time is key! I tried to skip it once and the crepes were not nearly as tender.
