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
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs.
- Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Stir in the melted butter, salt, sugar, and vanilla extract (if using). The batter should be smooth and thin.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes (optional but helps create tender crepes).
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom.
- Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Flip the crepe gently and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite fillings: fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, or savory options like ham and cheese!
