Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter using a paper towel or brush to coat the surface evenly.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe gently using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the cinnamon crepes warm with your favorite fillings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, or maple syrup. Fold or roll the crepes as desired.
