Easy Crepes Recipe
This Easy Crepes Recipe uses a simple batter of flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, butter, and vanilla to create thin, light pancakes cooked quickly in a buttered skillet. The crepes have a delicate texture with a slight sweetness from the vanilla and sugar. The method involves pouring a small amount of batter into the pan and tilting it to coat the surface evenly before cooking briefly on each side until golden. These crepes serve as a versatile base to be filled with sweet or savory fillings like fruit or spreads.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour spooned and leveled
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 3 egg large
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- butter for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, melted butter, and vanilla until mixture starts to get frothy on the top.
- Grease a small-medium skillet (about 8-10 inches) with butter set to medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately lift the pan off of the heat and tilt the pan to allow the batter to fill the entire bottom of the pan.
- Return pan to heat and cook for 30-60 seconds. Use a spatula to gently flip the crepe and cook another minute or so on the other side until golden. Remove from heat, cover to keep warm and repeat with remaining batter.
Notes
- Fill the crepes with fruit fillings like blueberry or banana to add sweetness and texture.
