Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Add the flour, sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract and melted butter to a blender.

- Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for one hour.
- Heat a 10 inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium high heat.
- Spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- When the skillet is hot, pour ¼ cup of batter into the middle of the skillet.
- Immediately lift the skillet by the handle and turn the skillet in a circular motion to thinly spread the batter evenly in the skillet.
- After 1-2 minutes, place a spatula under the edges of the crepe to loosen it up, then flip.
- Cook for an additional 30-60 seconds.
- Remove from the skillet and stack the crepes on a plate.
- Repeat steps 5-10 above until all of the crepe batter is gone.

Notes
- Spray the pan! Be sure to spray the pan with cooking spray after every crepe.
- Keep them warm! While cooking the crepes, one by one, stack the cooked crepes on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm while you make the rest of the crepes.
- Refrigerating the batter: The batter will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, so feel free to make ahead.
- Freezing leftovers: Leftover crepes can be frozen for up to 2 months. Stack the leftover crepes, placing a sheet of parchment paper between each one, so they don’t stick together. Then transfer the stack to a freezer-safe bag. To defrost, place the bag in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- Reheating crepes: place each crepe, one by one, in a dry skillet on the stove over medium heat for 60 seconds per side.
