Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for cooking)
• 0 as desired Optional toppings (e.g., whipped cream, berries, syrup, powdered sugar)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. The batter should be thin and smooth. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Swirl the pan immediately to spread the batter thinly and evenly.

Step 6

Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden on both sides.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

Step 8

Serve warm with toppings of your choice, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
