Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Skim milk
• 2 pieces Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 as needed Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, combine skim milk, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, forming a smooth batter.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to eliminate any bubbles, which helps create smoother crepes.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter evenly and create a thin layer.

Step 7

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift from the pan and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until set.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, recoating the pan with cooking spray as necessary.

Step 10

Serve the crepes sprinkled with powdered sugar and topped with fresh berries, if desired. Enjoy!
