Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny. Let it rest for 15-30 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl to evenly coat the bottom in a thin layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Transfer the finished crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan between crepes as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
