Instructions
Homemade Crepes
Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse for 10 seconds. Refrigerate batter for 1 hour to set, or up to 48 hours.
Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a bit of butter and melt, stirring to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and tilt with a circular motion to coat the surface evenly. Cook for 30 seconds until crepe moves when you shimmy the pan, then flip and cook another 10-15 seconds. Remove to a plate and lay flat to cool.
Repeat with the remaining batter. If you're working ahead, gently stack the crepes and place them in a gallon-sized plastic zipper bag. Refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to two months. Thaw frozen crepes on a cooling rack before attempting to peel them apart for use.
Place all filling ingredients in individual bowls or plates, providing a spoon or fork and a fancy nameplate for hard-to-identify items. Stack crepes on a plate, and let your guests go wild building their own brunch creations!
