Classic French Crêpes

Classic French Crêpes
🛒 Ingredients
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 ½ cups (600 ml) milk
2 tablespoons sugar (skip for savory crêpes)
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for pan)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sweet crêpes)
1/4 teaspoon salt
👩‍🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.
Add flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, and vanilla.
Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
(Or blend in a blender for 20 seconds.)
2️⃣ Rest the Batter
Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes.
This helps make the crêpes soft and tender.
3️⃣ Cook the Crêpes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Lightly grease with butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan.
Swirl quickly to spread thinly.
Cook 1–2 minutes until edges lift.
Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds.
Repeat with remaining batter.
