My go-to crepe recipe is super simple to make with just 8 pantry staples. I'm sharing 2 methods: a blender method and a whisk method.
Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 cups (480ml) warm milk Note 1
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Whisk Method:
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Stir in 1 cup of warm milk.
- Add flour and mix until smooth and lump-free
- Pour in the remaining 1 cup of milk and mix well.
- Cover and rest for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
- Stir in vegetable oil and baking powder. Mix until the batter is smooth, about a minute.
Blender Method:
- In a blender, add all the ingredients in the order they’re listed and process until smooth.
- Cover and rest for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
To shape and cook:
- Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
- Pour scant of ¼ cup of batter into the hot pan and swirl the pan around, so the batter is evenly distributed. (TIP: Use large cookie scoop for measuring the batter.)
- Once the edges start browning, carefully run a spatula around the edges of the crepe. Then insert the spatula under the crepe and flip it over.
- Cook it until nice and brown on other side, about 30 seconds. Transfer it onto a serving plate and continue with the rest of the batter.
- Serve the crepes warm with butter and jam, or Nutella, whipped cream, and/or fresh fruits.
Notes
Note 1: I recommend using whole milk or at least 2% milk for the best flavor. Using tepid milk yields soft and tender crepes.
STORING TIPS:
Store leftover crepes in refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Warm it up in a microwave for a few seconds before serving.
