CREPES RECIPE


Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for the pan)
  • 1 tablespoon 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. Add the melted butter, salt, and (if using) sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Let the batter rest for at least 20–30 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 1 hour) for best results.
  5. Heat a lightly buttered non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly swirl to evenly coat the bottom.
  7. Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the underside is lightly golden.
  8. Flip the crepe gently with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  9. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little butter to the pan as needed.
  10. Serve warm with your favorite fillings: Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, jam, or savory fillings like ham and cheese.
