German Style Crepes


These are fluffier, thicker,  and less sweet than french crepes. They're also known as german pancakes. 

In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup all purpose flour [or half whole wheat] flour with 2 eggs until combined. 
Add in half a cup milk, 1/2 a cup water, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. add a bit of salt, just a pinch.

NOTE: for a slightly sweeter crepe, add in 2 tablespoons or more sugar, and some vanilla extract, but not much. 

Grease a pan, pour in about 1/4 cup worth at a time, cooking on one side for 2 mins until browned,  then flipping. This should make 8-10 crepes. 

If you're eating them right away, add ingredients to the cooked side, like cheese, ham, etc. But I prefer just making the whole batch and warming them up later with whatever ingredients I want.
