Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- nonstick cooking spray or butter (for the pan)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be thin and smooth. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
Gently flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 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.
Serve the crepes warm with your favorite fillings or toppings, such as fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, or ham and cheese for a savory option.
