Description
Crispy Crepes are thin, delicate pancakes with golden, lacy edges and a tender yet slightly crunchy texture. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, they can be filled with sweet or savory fillings such as fruits, Nutella, or cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and sugar (if using) until smooth and lump-free.
- Let the batter rest for at least 15–20 minutes to allow the gluten to relax (optional but helps make crepes crispier).
- Heat a non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly swirl to spread it thinly and evenly.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and crisp.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 30–60 seconds on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate lined with parchment paper.
- Serve warm with your favorite fillings such as Nutella, fruits, honey, or cheese.
Notes
- For extra crispy edges, make sure the batter is thin and the pan is hot before pouring.
- You can store leftover batter in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Sweeten or season the batter depending on whether you’re making sweet or savory crepes.
- To reheat crepes, place them on a dry skillet over low heat until warmed and crisped up again.
