🥞 Classic Crepes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

• 2 large eggs

• 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for the pan)

• 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)

Instructions:

1. Blend the batter:

   • In a blender or mixing bowl, combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar (if using), salt, and vanilla (if using).

   • Blend or whisk until smooth. The batter should be thin like heavy cream.

   • Let it rest for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate up to 24 hours) — this helps reduce bubbles and improves texture.

2. Cook the crepes:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet (8–10 inches) over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

   • Pour in about ¼ cup of batter, swirling the pan immediately to coat the bottom in a thin layer.

   • Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the edges lift and the bottom is golden.

   • Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds on the other side.

   • Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes as you go.

Tips:

• Keep cooked crepes warm under foil or in a 200°F (90°C) oven.

• If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk.

Filling Ideas:

Sweet:

• Nutella + strawberries

• Lemon juice + sugar

• Whipped cream + berries

• Cinnamon + apples

Savory:

• Ham + cheese + egg

• Spinach + feta

• Mushrooms + Gruyère
