Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Vanilla Crepes:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined. You can also use a blender to mix the ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Rest the Batter:
- Let the batter rest for about 15-30 minutes. This helps the flour fully hydrate and reduces the chances of lumps forming.
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Cook the Crepes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. The crepe should be light golden in color.
- Repeat:
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Serve:
- Serve the crepes warm with your favorite fillings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, or simply a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Enjoy your delicious vanilla crepes!
