Homemade Crêpes
These are the best homemade crêpes that are a delicious treat any time of the day! They are easy to make and taste delicious whether you decide to serve them as a savory or sweet treat.
Ingredients
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup flour regular cake flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tbsps butter usalted + more for brushing the pan while cooking the crêpes
Instructions
- Blend/Whisk In the cup of a stand blender, add all the crepe ingredients (except the butter) and blend till smooth, +- 30 seconds. A bowl and whisk if not using a blender and whisk till smooth with no lumps. Optional but suggested Leave the batter in the fridge for an hour if you can before cooking. In a perfect world overnight is best, but even 15 minutes is good while you prep your toppings.
- Cook Heat a pan on medium to high heat. Once hot enough, brush the base of the pan with butter and pour the batter in using a ¼ cup measurement. Brush the pan with butter between cooking each crêpes. Lift and swirl Once you pour the batter into the pan, immediately lift the pan and swirl it around so that the batter can spread as far as it can go then immediately place it back on the stove to cook.
- Cook Leave each crepe to cook before flipping it over. The first side will cook for roughly just under a minute and after flipping even less.
- Serve with your favorite fillings/toppings.
Notes
Crepe batter This recipe gives you the perfect consistency, however, if you find that your batter is too thick add a dash (less than a ¼ cup) of water to help thin it out. batter. My suggestion is make one first, if you find it's too thick add a little water, a couple tablespoons.
Batter Quantity
You need one thin coating of batter spread over the bottom of the pan and you can do this whichever way works best for you.
¼ cup measurement (for a smaller pan or skillet)
⅓ cup measurement if your pan is large
Even Heat on Skillet or Pan
Let your skillet/pan pre-heat a good few minutes before you start otherwise the first one or two are never as perfect as the last one.
Optional Ideas For Serving
- Blueberry compote
- Strawberry Coulis
- Cinnamon Sugar
- Maple Syrup or Honey
- Lemon or orange and zest from both
- Chocolate spread like Nutella
- Whipped cream
