  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 10-12 crepes

Ingredients

– 2 cups milk (2% recommended, though whole milk can be used for a richer flavor)

– 4 large eggs (fresh)

– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)

– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional, and you can leave it out for savory crepes)

– Β½ teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt

– 1 Β½ cups all-purpose flour (sifted if desired)

– berries for serving

Instructions

1-First, blend the milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, salt, and flour in a blender for 15 to 20 seconds until smooth. You can also whisk them together in a bowl if you don’t have a blender handy. This creates a batter that’s thin and easy to work with, setting the foundation for your crepes.

2-Next, refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes or overnight. This step lets the gluten rest, making your crepes light and airy don’t skip it! Then, heat an 8-inch non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

3-Pour about ΒΌ cup of batter into the pan and tilt it right away to spread it into a thin circle. Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes on one side until the edges brown and bubbles form. Flip it and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until it’s fully done.

4-Remove the crepe and stack it on a plate; keep it warm in an oven set to 175Β°F if you’re making more. Serve with your favorite toppings like berries or Nutella for a delightful finish. Wow, isn’t it amazing how these steps for crepe making turn simple ingredients into something special?
