👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the batter
In a blender, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, salt, and flour. Blend for 15–20 seconds until smooth.
2. Rest the batter
Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes (or overnight). This helps create soft, flexible crepes.
3. Heat the pan
Warm an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease if needed.
4. Cook the crepes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, tilting it quickly to spread into a thin layer. Cook for about 1 minute, flip, and cook another 1 minute until lightly golden.
5. Stack and repeat
Transfer cooked crepes to a plate and stack. Repeat with remaining batter.
6. Serve
Fill or top with your favorite sweet or savory ingredients and enjoy!
