Basic Crepe Recipe

★Ingredients

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon sugar (optional for sweet crepes)

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for the pan)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for sweet crepes)

1/4 teaspoon salt

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional for sweet crepes)

★Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar (if using), and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until smooth.
  • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Stir in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream.
  • Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  1. Cook the Crepes
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly butter it.
  • Stir the batter, then pour about 1/4 cup into the center of the pan. Swirl to spread it thinly.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom turns golden brown. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  1. Serve
  • Stack the crepes as they finish cooking to keep them warm.
  • For sweet crepes, add toppings like fruit, Nutella, or whipped cream. For savory crepes, use fillings like cheese, ham, or veggies.

Enjoy!!
