Easy Homemade Crepes
📝 Ingredients (makes about 10–12 crepes)
-
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs
-
2 ½ cups (600ml) milk
-
2 tbsp sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
-
2 tbsp melted butter or oil
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet version)
🥣 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the batter
-
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
-
Add flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla.
-
Mix until smooth (no lumps).
-
Stir in melted butter or oil.
-
Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes (this makes softer crepes).
2️⃣ Cook the crepes
-
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
-
Lightly grease with butter or oil.
-
Pour about ¼ cup batter into the pan.
-
Tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread it thin.
-
Cook 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
-
Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds.
-
Repeat with remaining batter.
3️⃣ Serve
-
Stack them on a plate.
-
Roll or fold with your favorite fillings.

💡 Tips for Perfect Crepes
-
Batter should be thin and pourable (like heavy cream). Add a little milk if too thick.
-
Keep heat medium—too hot will burn them.
-
First crepe is usually a “test” one 😉
-
Stack and cover with a towel to keep soft.
