Here’s a simple, classic crepes recipe — perfect for sweet or savory fillings! 🥞
Classic Crepes Recipe
Servings: 10–12 crepes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
🧈 Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for the pan)
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional for sweet crepes)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for sweet crepes)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the Batter:
In a blender or bowl, combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla (if using).
Blend or whisk until smooth and lump-free.
Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes (this helps the crepes turn out tender). - Heat the Pan:
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
Lightly brush with butter or oil. - Cook the Crepes:
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan and quickly swirl it to coat the bottom evenly.
Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Flip and cook for another 20–30 seconds. - Repeat:
Stack crepes on a plate, separating them with parchment or lightly buttering between layers to prevent sticking.
🍓 Serving Ideas
- Sweet: Nutella & banana, lemon & sugar, strawberries & whipped cream, or cinnamon apples.
- Savory: Ham & cheese, sautéed mushrooms & spinach, or smoked salmon with cream cheese.
