Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 sufficient amount Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. The batter should be smooth and thin. If lumps persist, strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve.
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. This helps the crepes develop their delicate texture.
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying nonstick spray or butter as needed.
Serve the crepes warm with your choice of fillings, such as fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, or savory options like sautéed vegetables and cheese.
