# What You’ll Need:

→ Crepes Batter

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 1/4 cups milk
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted plus extra for cooking
05 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Serving

08 - 1/4 cup honey
09 - Fresh berries optional
10 - Powdered sugar optional

# Directions:

01 - Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined.
02 - Beat eggs in a separate bowl, then whisk in milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients while whisking continuously. Stir in melted butter until batter is smooth and lump-free.
04 - Let batter rest for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour to ensure tender crepes.
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with melted butter.
06 - Pour about 1/4 cup batter into pan, immediately swirl and tilt to coat surface thinly and evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and underside is lightly golden.
07 - Flip crepe carefully and cook for 30 seconds more until set. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
08 - Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to pan as needed between crepes.
09 - Stack crepes, drizzle generously with honey, and garnish with fresh berries and powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The batter comes together in minutes with pantry staples you probably already have
  • These delicate folds are impossibly versatile and work for breakfast, dessert, or a midnight snack
02 -
  • The resting period is not optional and skipping it will result in tough, rubbery crepes that resist spreading
  • Your first crepe will almost always be a disaster and this is completely normal so just consider it a chefs treat
03 -
  • Use a paper towel to wipe the pan between crepes, removing any burnt butter bits
  • Keep finished crepes warm in a 200F oven while you cook the remaining batter
