Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, whisking until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to form a smooth batter.

Step 4

Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly over the surface.

Step 7

Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden.

Step 8

Flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked crepe to a warm plate and cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 10

For the sauce, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 11

Add lemon juice and zest to the melted butter and whisk until combined and heated through.

Step 12

Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 13

To serve, fold or roll the crepes and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over them.

Step 14

Garnish with extra lemon zest or powdered sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.
