Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 sufficient amount Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).

Step 3

Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. The batter should be smooth and thin. If lumps persist, strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve.

Step 4

Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. This helps the crepes develop their delicate texture.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.

Step 7

Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying nonstick spray or butter as needed.

Step 9

Serve the crepes warm with your choice of fillings, such as fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, or savory options like sautéed vegetables and cheese.
