Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup milk preferably 2%
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour scoop and level to measure
  • 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • butter for pan for greasing
  • powdered sugar for dusting
  • desired fillings optional

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Add milk, flour, sugar, salt, butter, vanilla and eggs to a blender, then blend on low speed until well combined, about 10 seconds.
  • Scrape sides and bottom of blender if there's any flour sticking and blend a few seconds longer.
  • Cover and chill 1 hour (or overnight if desired).
  • Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Gently stir batter with a spoon just to blend separated layers.
  • Lightly butter skillet then lift pan and pour a scant 0.25 cup batter into pan, immediately tilt and swirl pan in circular motion to evenly coat entire bottom portion of pan with batter.
  • Cook until golden brown on bottom then use an offset spatula to lift an edge of the crepe, grab the edge of the crepe with your fingertips and flip crepe to opposite side. Cook until golden brown spots appear on bottom.
  • Transfer to a wire rack. Repeat until all of the batter has been used up (if needed reduce burner temperature slightly).
  • Dust crepes with powdered sugar and roll or fold into fourths, or fill with desired fillings then fold.

Notes

For best results, chill the batter at least 1 hour to ensure tender, smooth crepes. Use a 10-inch pan for ideal thickness and adjust heat as needed.
