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 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Cajeta (Mexican goat’s milk caramel)
• 0.5 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth batter. Strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.

Step 6

Flip the crepe gently with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as they are cooked.

Step 7

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the cajeta until it becomes smooth and pourable, being careful not to burn it.

Step 8

To assemble, spread 1-2 tablespoons of warm cajeta onto each crepe. Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it up tightly.

Step 9

Place the filled crepes on a serving dish and drizzle additional warm cajeta over the top.

Step 10

If desired, garnish with whipped cream and a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
