Classic Crepes Recipe 🍽️
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Make the Crepe Batter
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using), sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If you prefer a smoother batter, you can also blend it in a blender for about 10-15 seconds. - Rest the Batter
Let the batter sit for about 15-30 minutes. This step helps to ensure the crepes are tender and easy to flip. If you’re in a rush, you can skip this, but letting it rest helps the gluten relax and gives a better texture. - Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Once hot, lightly brush it with butter or oil. You just need a little bit to prevent sticking. - Cook the Crepes
Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) into the hot pan, swirling the pan quickly to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift slightly and the bottom is golden. Then, carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the other side is golden. - Repeat and Stack
Remove the cooked crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process until all the batter is used, stacking the crepes on top of each other. You can cover them with a clean towel to keep warm. - Serve and Fill
Once all the crepes are cooked, you can fill them with whatever your heart desires! For a sweet option, try fresh fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, or a dusting of powdered sugar. For a savory twist, use cheese, ham, or sautéed vegetables.
