Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 14 crepes
Ingredients
2 cups milk (I use 2%)
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (sifted, if desired)
For Serving: Berries, syrup, Nutella, bananas, or your favorite toppings
Directions
- Blend the Batter
- In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, salt, and flour. Blend for 15–20 seconds until the mixture is smooth. Alternatively, you can whisk the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
- Cook the Crepes
- Heat an 8-inch frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, quickly tilting it in all directions to form a thin, even circle. Cook for about 1 minute per side, or until lightly golden. Stack the cooked crepes on a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Top your crepes with your favorite additions! Fresh fruit, jams, pudding, Nutella, whipped cream, and nuts are some delicious options to try.
