👩🍳 Detailed Preparation
🥣 Step 1 – Prepare the Batter
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
Add the milk gradually while whisking continuously.
Stir in vanilla extract and melted butter.
In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture.
Whisk until completely smooth with no lumps.
💡 Pro Tip: For an extra silky batter, strain it through a fine mesh sieve.
❄️ Step 2 – Rest the Batter
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.
✅ Resting allows the flour to hydrate fully and produces tender, delicate crêpes.
🔥 Step 3 – Cook the Crêpes
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly grease with butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center.
Swirl the pan immediately to spread the batter into a thin circle.
Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to lift.
Flip carefully with a spatula.
Cook the second side for 30–45 seconds.
Transfer to a plate and repeat.
