Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Butter or oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should have a thin, runny consistency. If it seems too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk to thin it out.
Cover the batter and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow any air bubbles to settle.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.
Once the pan is hot, pour about 3 tablespoons (or 1/4 cup) of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the crepes warm with your favorite fillings, such as fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
