Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups milk: Provides the liquid base for the batter.
• 2 large eggs: Adds structure and richness.
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted: Contributes to a tender texture.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Infuses the crepes with a subtle vanilla flavor.
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness.
• 1/8 teaspoon salt: Enhances the overall flavor.
• 1 cup all-purpose flour: The main dry ingredient for the batter.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, sugar, salt, and flour. Blend for 2-3 seconds until just combined. Refrigerate the batter for 30-60 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
2. Cook the Crepes: Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt 1/4 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until the other side is lightly browned.

Notes

• Storage: Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: To freeze, allow the crepes to cool completely. Place wax paper between each crepe and on the top and bottom of the stack. Place the stack in a freezer bag, carefully removing as much air as possible. Store the bag in a sturdy freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to two months. To thaw, place the freezer bag in the refrigerator until the crepes are defrosted.

This recipe ensures perfect, tender crepes every time, ideal for both sweet and savory fillings. Enjoy!
