Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk (2%)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted if desired

Instructions

  1. Blend the batter: In a blender, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and flour. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Alternatively, whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until blended. Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes or overnight to allow the flour to absorb liquid and enhance flavor.
  2. Heat the pan: Place an 8-inch frying pan or non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Let it heat thoroughly before cooking the crepes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, then immediately tilt and rotate the pan from side to side to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle. Cook for about 1 minute on the first side, until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook the second side for about 1 minute until browned.
  4. Stack and keep warm: Remove the cooked crepe from the pan and stack on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, maintaining the heat on medium-low to prevent burning.
  5. Serve with toppings: Serve the crepes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, jams, pudding, Nutella, whipped cream, or nuts for a versatile and delicious meal or dessert.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the batter helps create tender crepes and improves texture.
  • Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan if the crepes tend to stick.
  • Adjust heat if crepes brown too quickly or not enough.
  • Crepes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
