Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using), sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined. The batter should be thin and liquid.
- Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to hydrate and results in smoother crepes.
- Heat the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan.
- Cook the crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the heated pan. Immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly across the surface.
- Flip the crepes: Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Use a spatula to gently flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
- Serve: Remove the crepe from the pan and set it aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, whipped cream, Nutella, or syrup.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade crepes!
