BHA & BHT Free Easy Crepes
Thin, lacy, and endlessly versatile, these crepes are the kind of recipe that feels fancy but comes together with ingredients you almost certainly already have on hand. The short list — flour, eggs, whole milk, butter, sugar, and salt — means there's nowhere for hidden additives to sneak in, which is exactly what you want when you're avoiding synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT. So many packaged mixes and shelf-stable baked goods rely on those preservatives to extend their shelf life, making something this straightforward a genuinely refreshing alternative. Blending the batter until smooth and then letting it rest for 30 minutes is the quiet secret to crepes that spread beautifully and cook up with those signature delicate edges. A little swirl of the pan is all the technique you need, and the results stack up perfectly without sticking. Fill them sweet, fill them savory, or simply fold them into quarters with a dusting of powdered sugar — the possibilities are completely yours.

Transfer the batter to a bowl or pitcher, cover, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, until the bubbles have settled and the flour is fully hydrated.
