Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps.

Step 2

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, thin batter. Ensure no lumps remain. Alternatively, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flour to fully hydrate (optional but recommended for the best texture).

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil or butter using a paper towel.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip carefully using a spatula and cook for another 20-30 seconds.

Step 8

Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite fillings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate spread, cheese, or ham. Fold or roll the crepes as desired.
