Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a blender or large bowl, combine flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, salt, vanilla (if using), and water. Blend or whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
- Cook for 1 minute or until edges lift and bottom is golden. Flip and cook the second side for 30 seconds.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Serve warm with desired fillings or toppings.
Notes
- Letting the batter rest ensures smoother, more tender crepes.
- Use a nonstick skillet for easy flipping and even cooking.
