Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • ⅛ tsp vanilla extract
  • butter/oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Mix the dry ingredients: flour, salt and sugar until well blended
  • Whisk the wet ingredients: the beaten egg, milk and vanilla until combined
  • Mix the dry and wet mixtures together until batter is blended and consistency is smooth. Alternatively you can mix all the ingredients together in a blender.
  • Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes so bubbles can subside
  • Heat some butter on a nonstick pan or crepe pan.
  • Right before cooking, give the batter a whisk. Depending on the size of your pan, pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter onto the pan and swirl until it creates an even, round layer.
  • When the bottom of the crepe turns slightly brown, flip it over gently with a spatula. This can take anywhere between 30 seconds to a minute (or more if your crepe is thicker).
  • Cook the other side until slightly brown or when batter has settled.
  • Plate, then repeat steps 5 to 8 until the entire batter is used. Serve plain, with powdered sugar, Nutella and/or fresh fruits for a sweet variation or with meat, cheese and/or egg for a savory version. Enjoy!
