Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
- cooking spray or additional butter for greasing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Alternatively, blend all ingredients in a blender for 30 seconds.
Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate overnight. This helps the gluten relax and ensures tender crepes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Quickly lift and tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. 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 repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite fillings and toppings such as fresh fruits, whipped cream, Nutella, ham and cheese, or sautéed vegetables.
Enjoy your easy crepes!
