Calories : 108kcal
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 cup (128 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp sugar
- some butter to fry
Instructions
- Combine eggs, milk, flour, butter, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer or food processor and blend well until you have a smooth batter. → Tip: Add the liquid ingredients first and then the flour so that the flour does not stick to the bottom of the mixer!
- Let the crêpe batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a non-stick pan (or crêpe pan) over medium-high heat and a some butter (∼ ½ tbsp).
- Pour about ¼ cup of the batter (depending on the pan size - I use a ø9-10inch frying pan) into the center of the pan. Swirl the pan until the pan is evenly covered with the batter.
- Cook each side of the crêpe for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Add more butter to the pan, then repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite filling.
Notes
- Keep Warm: Store cooked crêpes on a plate in the preheated oven at 140°F (60°C).
- Cook Faster: To speed up the cooking time, use two skillets simultaneously.
- Without Mixer: If you don’t have a mixer, you can mix the batter in a large bowl with a whisk until smooth.
- Store leftover crêpes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in the oven, microwave, or pan.
