Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 3 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the flour mixture.
Gradually add the milk to the flour and egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth and free of lumps.
Melt the unsalted butter and stir it into the batter along with the vanilla extract.
Let the batter rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This allows the flour to fully hydrate and aids in achieving a smooth texture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with a small amount of butter for cooking.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into an even, thin layer across the bottom.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the underside turns lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the crepes with your choice of sweet or savory fillings, such as fresh berries, chocolate spread, or ham and cheese.
