Crepes Recipe

Ingredient

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for the pan)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs.
  2. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  3. Stir in the melted butter, salt, sugar, and vanilla (if using).
  4. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes (this helps the crepes turn out tender).
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and immediately swirl to spread it thinly and evenly.
  7. Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
  8. Flip the crepe gently with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  9. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  10. Fill or top your crepes with your favorite fillings—fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, ham & cheese, or just a sprinkle of sugar!
