Homemade Crepes

Homemade crepes are perfect for any occasion! They are thin, tender, and easier to make than you think 🙂 You only need 6 ingredients to make these French-style homemade crepes. No blender or special pan required (although it does help).

The recipe can be found here.

Start by combining the eggs, milk, flour, butter, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk together until smooth – you don’t want any chunks in the liquid! Then let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.

I have a crepe pan that I like to use but you don’t need a special pan to make crepes, you just need a flat-bottomed non-stick skillet. You want to heat the pan over medium heat.

Add ½ Tbsp butter to the pan and let it melt. Then add ¼ cup of the batter to the pan. Use a wooden crepe râteau to spread the batter into a thin circle. If you don’t have a râteau, you can simply lift the pan and swirl the batter into a thin circle.

The first one is the hardest! You have to work fast to spread the batter, but with a little practice, you’ll be making amazing crepes in no time!

Cook for about 2 minutes, then use a large spatula to flip the crepe. Cook the other side for about 2 minutes as well. You want the crepes to be golden brown in color. Remove to a plate and repeat these steps until the rest of the batter has been used.

Serve the crepes warm with your favorite toppings and/or filling. You can spread peanut butter or hazelnut spread inside the crepes and roll them up, fold the crepes and top with powdered sugar and berries, use jams and jellies, etc.
