Ingredients

• 125 grams All-purpose flour
• 300 milliliters Whole milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 30 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 30 grams Additional unsalted butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and add the pinch of salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter, using a paper towel to evenly coat the surface.

Step 5

Pour approximately 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter into the pan, swirling it quickly to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 6

Cook the crêpe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan with a small amount of butter as needed.

Step 8

To serve, spread a small pat of butter over each warm crêpe and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Fold or roll the crêpes, and sprinkle a little extra sugar on top if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately, either plain or with additional toppings like fresh lemon juice or fruit.
