Easy Crepe Recipe

This easy crepe recipe comes from my mom's kitchen. I grew up enjoying these light and fluffy crepes, and making them now for my family brings back those fond memories. Their blend-and-pour method makes them perfect for any filling, be it sweet or savory.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more to coat the pan
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until perfectly smooth, about 15 to 20 seconds.
  • Prepare a non-stick pan by lightly greasing it with butter, then place it over medium heat.
  • Pour a 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the warm skillet and quickly lift and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly.
  • Allow the crepe to cook for roughly 30 seconds, watching for bubbles around the edges and a shift from glossy to matte.
  • Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook the opposite side for about 30 seconds until lightly golden.
  • Once cooked, transfer the crepe to a plate and layer parchment paper in between to keep them from sticking.
  • Fill your crepes with your favorite sweet or savory ingredients. I love a filling of ham, cheese, and arugula, or for something sweet, Nutella with fresh berries.
