Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 2 units Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for cooking)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Coarsely chopped pecans
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for caramel sauce)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the batter is resting, make the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the caramel sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small portion of butter.

Step 7

Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the hot skillet, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the underside is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked crepes warm by covering them with foil or a clean kitchen towel.

Step 9

Toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Step 10

To serve, stack or fold the crepes on plates. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
