For a richer flavor, substitute milk for half of the water. Add a tablespoon of melted butter to the batter for a more tender shell. Store cooked shells in the refrigerator, layered between sheets of parchment paper, for up to 2 days. Feel free to experiment with different flours! A blend of all-purpose and semolina flour will give the shells a slightly chewier texture.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, eggs, and salt until a smooth, thin batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps for the perfect crepe-like texture. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Lightly coat a non-stick griddle or crepe pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. The key is a gentle heat to prevent the shells from browning too quickly. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated griddle, immediately swirling to create a thin, even circle. (1 minute)
04 Step
Recipe View Cook until the edges lift slightly and a delicate film forms on the surface of the shell. This indicates the shell is ready to be flipped, usually 1-2 minutes.
05 Step
Recipe View Carefully lift the shell with a thin spatula and transfer it to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked shells on top of each other. (20-30 minutes)

Jul 9, 2023These shells were so much better than store-bought! A little time-consuming, but definitely worth the effort.

Nov 26, 2022The shells stuck to my pan a little bit. Next time, I'll make sure the pan is really well seasoned with the cooking spray.
