Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, thin batter. Ensure no lumps remain. Alternatively, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flour to fully hydrate (optional but recommended for the best texture).
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil or butter using a paper towel.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip carefully using a spatula and cook for another 20-30 seconds.
Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite fillings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate spread, cheese, or ham. Fold or roll the crepes as desired.
