Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 nonstick cooking spray or butter (for the pan)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be thin and smooth. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 6

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 7

Gently 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 cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the crepes warm with your favorite fillings or toppings, such as fresh fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, or ham and cheese for a savory option.
