Hello everyone!
So I LOVE IHOP! I especially love their crepes,but I don't have a rrecipe to make them myself. Does anyone have a crepe recipe? Thanks so much!

ok here's one.

In a bowl combine 2 beaten eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon cooking oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat until combined.

Heat a lightly greased 6-inch skillet, remove from heat. Spoon in 2 tablespoons batter, lift and tilt skillet to spread batter. Return to heat, brown on 1 side only. Then repeat with remaining batter and add your own filling!

Hope that helps.

Highly inexact recipe...

multiples of: 1 egg, ~1/2c milk, a bit less than 1/2 c flour, a splash of vegetable oil or 1/2-1T melted butter, a dash of salt, a dribble of vanilla. Beat well - works best if done in blender for immediate cooking, OR beaten with a fork or a mixer and refrigerated overnight before cooking (stir immediately before cooking, it'll separate a bit overnight). I don't know why, but they are *much* better that way. It should be runny, but not liquid (which is why a bit more milk than flour).

Pour some into a preheated lightly greased pan (butter makes it taste better, but works just fine with olive oil). Spread around pan by tilting so it just coats the bottom of the pan. If there's too much, you can pour it back. When starts to brown around the edges, loosen the edges, flip, let brown, put on plate.

I usually eat the first one plain and decide if I need to add more salt. If it's eggy, add more flour and milk; if it doens't hold together well, i sometimes add a 2nd egg, and a bit more flour and milk. Doesn't spread well, add more milk; if too liquidy, add more flour. The temperature for cooking is right when it sizzless slightly on being poured into the pan, and starts to brown around the edges pretty quickly; should only require a few seconds on the 2nd side.

I have developed this recipe as an adaptation of my belgian waffle recipe and two years of experimentation ;P

I've got the copycat recipe for their crepes. You're on your own for the filling cause I like really strange fillings. Top with powdered sugar.

Batter for crepes:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
two eggs
1/2-teaspoon vanilla
1/2-teaspoon baking powder
1/2-teaspoon salt
Butter for the pan
Use an electric mixer to blend together all the crepe ingredients except the butter for the pan in a large bowl. Blend just until smooth. The batter will be very thin.

Preheat a 10" frying pan over medium heat. (This size pan tapers to about 8" at the bottom.) When the pan is hot, add about 1/2 teaspoon of butter.
When the butter has melted, pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan. Swirl the batter so that it entirely coats the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until golden brown on one side.
Use a spatula to lift an edge of the crepe. Grab it with your finger, slip the spatula underneath, and quickly flip it over. Cook for another 1-1/2 minutes or until a bit lighter shade of brown than the first side, then slide it out of the pan. Repeat with the rest of the batter, and stack the finished crepes on top of each other to keep them warm.
