Ingredients: 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, for sweet crepes), 1 pinch of salt, Oil or butter to grease the pan.

Preparation: In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, cornstarch, melted butter, sugar (if you are making sweet crepes) and a pinch of salt. Mix until you obtain a smooth dough. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the cornstarch to hydrate properly. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread with a little oil or butter to prevent the crepes from sticking. Pour some batter into the hot pan and rotate the pan to distribute the batter evenly and form a thin crepe. Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and you can easily slide a spatula underneath. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for about 30 more seconds. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough. Serve the crepes with your favorite filling, whether Nutella, fruits, honey, cheese, ham, or any other ingredient of your choice. Ready!
