Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing the pan)
• 1 variety optional toppings (e.g., Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, powdered sugar)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter. Alternatively, you can blend the ingredients in a blender for 20-30 seconds.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes. This helps the flour fully hydrate and results in more tender crepes.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter.

Step 6

Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly across the surface.

Step 7

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Gently flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side.

Step 8

Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between crepes.

Step 9

Serve the crepes warm with your choice of toppings, such as Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Fold or roll the crepes for presentation.
