Crepes Recipe

🥞 Basic Crepes Recipe

Ingredients (makes about 10–12 crepes):

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups (360ml) milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (plus more for the pan)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)

Instructions:

1. Make the batter:
   • In a bowl or blender, combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and optional sugar and vanilla.
   • Blend or whisk until smooth (no lumps).
   • Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes (optional but improves texture).
2. Heat the pan:
   • Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan (8–10 inches).
   • Lightly grease with butter or oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the crepes:
   • Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan.
   • Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly.
   • Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the edges lift and the bottom is golden.
   • Flip and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Serve:
   • Stack crepes on a plate and keep warm.
   • Fill with anything you like: Nutella, jam, fruit, whipped cream, cheese, ham, eggs, etc.
