Crepes are thin and delicate pancakes that can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients, making them perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. This easy recipe ensures light, buttery crepes every time!
Ingredients
For the Crepe Batter:
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk
2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
Optional Toppings and Fillings:
Nutella, chocolate spread, or caramel
Fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries
Whipped cream
Powdered sugar
Cheese, ham, or sautéed vegetables for savory crepes
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt (and sugar if making sweet crepes).
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack in the eggs.
Gradually add the milk while whisking, starting from the center and incorporating the flour little by little to avoid lumps.
Stir in the melted butter or oil and vanilla extract (if using). The batter should be smooth and slightly runny. Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes at room temperature to ensure tender crepes.
