👶 Kid-Friendly🌶️ mild Spice

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Extra melted butter for cooking crepes
  • Various toppings (such as Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, maple syrup)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  2. 2

    Allow the batter to rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature for best results.

  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter.

  4. 4

    Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the center of the skillet, swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.

  5. 5

    Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Using a spatula, flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

  8. 8

    Serve the crepes warm with your choice of toppings such as Nutella, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
