Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Homemade Crepes that you can fill with sweet or savory fillings!
Homemade Crepes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar (if using), vanilla extract (if using), and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps to create tender crepes.
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter.
- Cook the Crepes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat:
- Transfer the cooked crepes to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve:
- Fill your crepes with your favorite fillings. For sweet crepes, try Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or maple syrup. For savory options, consider spinach and cheese, ham and egg, or sautéed vegetables.
Tips:
- You can store leftover crepes in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze them for later use.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Enjoy your homemade crepes!
