Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously, until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and continue whisking until the batter is well combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling quickly to spread it into a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.
To make the maple butter cream, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the maple syrup and heavy cream, and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Spread or drizzle the maple butter cream over each crepe and fold into halves or quarters.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
