Equipment

Ingredients

2 large eggs
¾ cup milk
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, and slightly cooled, plus more for pan
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoons salt
Berries for serving

Instructions

In a small blender, blend all the ingredients together for 30-60 seconds until well blended. Cover and allow to rest in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. (give it one extra blend if it separates after cooling)
Heat a large non-stick skillet (at least 9”) over medium low heat. Melt about ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter and distribute evenly throughout the pan.
Pour ¼ cup batter into the center of the pan. Tilt the pan with a circular motion to distribute the batter evenly all the way to the sides of the pan.
Cook the first side for 60-90 seconds until lightly browned. Gently slide a spatula under the edges of the crepe to flip. Cook for an additional 45-60 seconds until cooked through and browned.
Stack the crepes on a plate or fold into fourths. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter as needed.

Notes

Tip: To help keep crepes from ripping, fold them in the pan while still hot and pliable.
