- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for sweet crepes)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla (if using), and salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free. The batter should be slightly runny and thin. If it seems too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches the right consistency.
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flour hydrate fully and ensures tender crepes.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil, wiping off any excess with a paper towel.
- Pour the Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
- Cook the Crepe: Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Use a spatula to gently flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining crepes, greasing the pan as needed.
- Fill and Fold: Once the crepes are cooked, you can fill them with your favorite fillings. For sweet crepes, try fresh berries, whipped cream, Nutella, or a sprinkle of sugar. For savory options, consider ham, cheese, spinach, or scrambled eggs.
- Fold and Enjoy: Fold the crepes into quarters or roll them up and serve hot!
- Sweet Crepes: Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the batter for a sweeter base.
- Savory Crepes: Omit the vanilla extract and add herbs (like thyme or chives) to the batter for a more savory flavor.
- Fillings: Get creative with fillings! Sweet options could include lemon and sugar, Nutella and banana, or whipped cream and strawberries. For savory fillings, try sautéed mushrooms, cheese, or scrambled eggs.
- Make Ahead: You can make the crepes ahead of time. Simply stack them with parchment paper between each one, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the pan before serving.
