Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 1 cup Lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 4 pieces Fresh lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, large eggs, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 5

Once the pan is hot, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 6

Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown. Flip the crepe gently using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate and covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Step 8

To assemble, spread 1-2 tablespoons of lemon curd on each crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then fold it in quarters to form a triangle, or roll it up tightly for a cylindrical shape.

Step 9

Dust the assembled crepes with powdered sugar before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon slices if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your zesty Lemon Crepes!
