Crepes are the best, don’t you think? Growing up we called them “sugar rolled pancakes”. I love making them on the weekends when we have the time. Or you can always make them ahead of time and warm them before serving. Having a great recipe is crucial, and this recipe is the best…perfect crepes every time. The technique of making crepes can be intimidating…for years I thought I needed one of those special crepe makers where you dip the hot pan into the batter. Learn from my mistake…do not buy that gadget! It’s a waste of money and of crepe batter…you don’t need it. You only need an 8-inch pan.

Ingredients

Sugar for sprinkling
1 tbsp. Sugar
1 tbsp. Vanilla
3 tbsp. Melted butter cooled
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 cup Flour
1 1/3 cups Milk
3 Eggs

Method

01

In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, milk, flour, salt and slightly cooled melted butter. Add in the sugar and vanilla if making a sweet crepe. If making a savory crepe, leave the sugar and vanilla out.
02

Mix well with a wire whisk until well combined. Keep the whisk in the bowl and continue to mix the batter occasionally as you make the crepes.
03

Heat an 8" non-stick skillet to medium heat. Use a paper towel to lightly grease the pan with butter.
04

Pour 1/2 cup of crepe batter into the pan and tilt pan so the batter covers the pan in a thin layer. Cook until the edges start to lightly brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip over and cook for a few more seconds until done.
05

Sprinkle about a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar over the crepe and roll them up, or fold them into fourths. Keep them covered with tinfoil to keep them warm until they’re ready to serve. Serve with fresh berries, powdered sugar, whipped cream or Nutella!
