Classic French Crepes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Fillings such as fruit, Nutella, or jam, for serving

Instructions

1. 1Whisk the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla together until completely smooth, or blend briefly in a blender for the smoothest results.
2. 2Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature; this relaxes the gluten and helps the crepes cook up tender rather than rubbery.
3. 3Heat a nonstick or crepe pan over medium heat and brush lightly with butter.
4. 4Pour a thin layer of batter into the center of the pan and immediately swirl and tilt the pan so the batter coats the bottom in a thin, even circle.
5. 5Cook until the edges look dry and lightly golden and lift easily, about 1 to 2 minutes, then flip with a thin spatula and cook the second side for about 30 seconds.
6. 6Stack the finished crepes on a plate, filling and folding or rolling each one as desired before serving.
