Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 units Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
Instructions
Place all ingredients (flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar if using, salt, and vanilla extract if using) into a blender.
Blend the ingredients on high for 15-20 seconds until the batter is smooth and lump-free. If needed, scrape down the sides with a spatula and blend for a few more seconds.
Cover the blender jar and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. This helps the flour absorb moisture, resulting in tender crepes.
When ready to cook, preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan and quickly tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift from the pan and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the crepes warm with your favorite fillings and toppings, such as fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, ham, or cheese.
