Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or additional melted butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using).

Step 3

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 4

Once combined, add the melted butter and whisk until the batter is smooth and slightly runny. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flour to fully hydrate.

Step 5

Preheat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.

Step 6

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, quickly swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 7

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.

Step 8

Remove the cooked crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of fillings (e.g., fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, savory fillings) or store the crepes, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet before serving if needed.
