Vanilla Crepes

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
2. In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, water, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
4. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes at room temperature; this helps create tender crepes.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with butter.
6. Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling to spread evenly in a thin layer.
7. Cook 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook an additional 30–60 seconds.
8. Transfer crepe to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, brushing the skillet with more butter as needed.
9. Stack crepes with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking, or serve immediately.
10. Add desired toppings such as fresh berries, syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce before serving.
