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