Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons butter (or oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a blender or a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cornstarch, melted butter (or oil), vanilla extract (if using), and salt.
Blend or whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth and lump-free. The batter should have a thin, pourable consistency similar to heavy cream.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil using a paper towel.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the skillet and immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan as needed between crepes.
Serve the crepes warm with your choice of sweet or savory fillings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, ham, cheese, or sautéed vegetables.
