  • Yield: 8-10 crepes
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Thin, tender, and versatile, perfect for sweet or savory fillings.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
  • 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, plus extra for the pan
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the sifted flour, sugar (if using), and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
  3. Slowly stream the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking to create a lump-free batter.
  4. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  5. Heat an 8-10 inch nonstick pan over medium-low heat and lightly brush with melted butter.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and immediately tilt to spread into a thin circle.
  7. Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is pale gold, about 45-60 seconds.
  8. Slide a spatula under the crepe to flip and cook the second side for 20-30 seconds.
  9. Stack finished crepes and keep warm while finishing the batch.

Notes

Allow the batter to rest for 20-30 minutes for best texture. Use a nonstick pan for easy flipping.
