Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, vegetable oil, sugar, and salt.
- Blend the mixture until smooth. If you have time, allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Heat a 6-inch skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with oil or butter.
- Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of the batter into the center of the pan.
- Immediately lift the skillet and gently rotate it to spread the batter evenly, creating a round crepe.
- Cook the crepe until bubbles form on top and the center is set, about 90 seconds. Flip if needed for a few seconds.
- Carefully remove the crepe from the skillet. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes
- Experiment with various flavorings, such as vanilla extract or citrus zest in the batter.
- Chill or rest the batter for at least 30 minutes before cooking (or up to 24 hours) for the best texture. This allows the bubbles in the batter to pop.
- Crepes are thin enough that they will cook through without having to flip. No flipping will ensure they remain soft and foldable.
- Gently brush the pan with butter or oil before adding batter each time.
- Fill with sweet or savory fillings.
- To make crepes ahead, layer them between sheets of parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate for up 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
