Add 1 cup of whole milk, 1 cup of water, and 1 large egg to the bowl.

Whisk the mixture until it becomes a lumpy batter.

Melt some butter in the microwave.

Pour a little melted butter into a skillet and move it around to coat the pan.

Add a spoonful of the batter to the skillet and spread it around to form a thin crepe.

Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown, then flip it over and add more butter before flipping.

Cook the other side until golden brown.

Serve with raspberries and a drizzle of honey.
