Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon Mint extract
• 2 drops Green food coloring (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together to combine.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then gradually whisk in the whole milk until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 4

Add the melted unsalted butter, mint extract, and green food coloring (if using) to the batter, and whisk until well-incorporated and smooth.

Step 5

Cover the batter and let it rest for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. This helps eliminate air bubbles and ensures tender crepes.

Step 6

Heat a nonstick crepe pan or a medium skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 7

Once the pan is heated, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.

Step 8

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for 30-60 seconds.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.

Step 10

Serve the crepes warm with your favorite fillings and toppings, such as fresh mint leaves, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh berries.
