Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups low-fat milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, low-fat milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, sugar, and cornstarch.

Step 2

Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and no lumps remain. The batter should have a thin consistency, akin to heavy cream.

Step 3

Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes. During this time, you can prepare the caramel sauce.

Step 4

To make the caramel sauce, combine granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 5

Cook without stirring until the sugar has dissolved and starts to bubble, turning a light amber color, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Carefully whisk in the heavy cream; be cautious as the mixture will bubble up significantly.

Step 7

Stir in unsalted butter and vanilla extract. Continue to stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 8

Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 9

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of unsalted butter.

Step 10

Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling quickly to cover the entire surface in a thin layer.

Step 11

Cook until the edges start to peel away and the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 12

Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook on the other side for another 1 minute.

Step 13

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 14

Serve the crepes with a drizzle of the warm caramel sauce.
