Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Assorted fillings (e.g., Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, powdered sugar)

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
  5. Scoop 1/4 cup of the crepe batter onto the skillet, then quickly tilt and rotate the skillet to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
  6. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
  7. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is lightly browned.
  8. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  9. Once all the crepes are cooked, fill each crepe with your desired toppings, such as Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
  10. Fold or roll the crepe and serve it warm.
  11. You can dust some powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness.
