Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing the pan)
- 1 variety optional toppings (e.g., Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, powdered sugar)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter. Alternatively, you can blend the ingredients in a blender for 20-30 seconds.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes. This helps the flour fully hydrate and results in more tender crepes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter.
Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly across the surface.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Gently flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side.
Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between crepes.
Serve the crepes warm with your choice of toppings, such as Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Fold or roll the crepes for presentation.
