Description
Delicate and tender crepes that are perfect for sweet or savory fillings, ideal for brunch or dessert.
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
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar (if using), and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet mixture gradually into the dry ingredients while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stop when the batter is smooth and thin.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low and brush it lightly with melted butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilt to spread a thin layer.
- Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is pale gold, about 45–60 seconds, then flip and cook for an additional 20–30 seconds.
- Transfer to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm. Serve immediately.
Notes
For dairy-free crepes, use plant milk and melted coconut oil. Ensure the batter rests for tender crepes.
