- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pan
Directions

- Slowly pour in the plant-based milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add the maple syrup or agave nectar and vegetable oil to the batter.

- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
