Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs
-
1 ¼ cups milk
-
2 tbsp melted butter
-
1 tbsp sugar (for sweet crepes, optional)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional for sweet crepes)
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar (if using), vanilla extract (if using), and salt until the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Prepare the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
-
Cook the crepes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the hot pan, then tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift, then flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
-
Serve: Stack the cooked crepes on a plate and keep them warm. Fill with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, or ham and cheese for savory crepes.
Notes
-
For extra crispy edges, cook the crepes a little longer on each side.
-
If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
-
To make the crepes ahead of time, store them in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
