Foolproof Crepes

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour (all-purpose)
• 2 cup milk
• cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 tablespoon of oil, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of flour, and 2 cups of milk until combined.

2. 2

   Pour the batter through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl to remove any clumps and ensure the batter is super smooth.

3. 3

   Heat up a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat and spray with oil or add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.

4. 4

   Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan, tilting the pan immediately to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

5. 5

   Cook until the edges are set and the crepe is slightly browned and bubbly on the surface.

6. 6

   Flip the crepe carefully and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side. Enjoy!

Notes

Straining the batter is a key step for achieving the traditional smooth texture of French crepes. These can be served with sweet fillings like fruit and cream or savory fillings like ham and cheese.
