Ingredients
Method
Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to hydrate and results in tender crêpes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter using a paper towel.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip carefully using a thin spatula and cook for another 30–60 seconds on the other side.
- Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite fillings such as Nutella, fresh berries, powdered sugar, lemon juice, or ham and cheese.
Notes
For best results, use a blender to mix the batter for an ultra-smooth texture. Crêpes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days—just reheat gently in a pan or microwave. Freeze for longer storage, layered with parchment paper.
