Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until the batter is smooth and free of lumps to ensure thin, even crepes.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Crepes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the hot skillet, then immediately tilt and swirl the skillet to spread the batter evenly in a thin layer. Cook for about 30 seconds until the edges curl and the underside is golden brown.
- Flip Crepes: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds until the other side turns golden as well.
- Keep Warm and Repeat: Transfer the cooked crepe to a large plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make a total of 12 crepes.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite sweet fillings like whipped cream and berries or savory toppings such as chicken, eggs, cheese, and vegetables. Roll up and enjoy!
Notes
- For thinner crepes, add a little more milk to the batter until desired consistency is reached.
- If the batter rests for 10-15 minutes before cooking, it helps the flour to fully hydrate and improves texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan for best results to prevent sticking and easy flipping.
- Adjust cooking heat as needed to avoid burning; medium heat is ideal.
- Crepes can be made ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
- Customize fillings to suit sweet or savory preferences.
