Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly thinner than pancake batter. If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the gluten to relax, ensuring tender crepes.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter.

Step 6

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, quickly swirling it around to cover the surface evenly in a thin layer.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly between crepes as needed.

Step 9

Serve the crepes warm with your choice of fillings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, chocolate spread, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Roll or fold the crepes for serving.
