Basic Crepes image

This makes a lot of crepes. You can halve the recipe if that makes more sense for you, or keep it as is and have crepes two days in a row.

Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs, room temperature
2 1/3 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Suzette Sauce and Milk Chocolate Sauce, whipped cream, and/or jam (for serving)

Steps:

  • Blend eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a blender until smooth and frothy. Add flour and salt and blend just to combine. Cover batter and chill at least 1 hour.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high, then brush with butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet and swirl to evenly coat bottom. Cook crepe until bubbles form on surface and edges are golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath crepe to loosen and carefully flip. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, about 15 seconds, then transfer to a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining crepes. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
  • Serve crepes with Suzette Sauce, Milk Chocolate Sauce, whipped cream, and/or jam alongside.

I'm not a big fan of crêpes, but I tried this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised. They were light and fluffy and the filling was delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

These crêpes were a bit too thick for my taste, but they still tasted good. I'll try making them thinner next time.

The crêpes were a bit bland for my taste, but they were still good. I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my crêpes turned out dry and rubbery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've been making crêpes for years and this recipe is by far the best I've tried. The crêpes are light, fluffy, and have a slightly crispy edge. I highly recommend this recipe!

The crêpes were a bit tricky to flip at first, but I got the hang of it after a few tries. They were so good that I ate them all in one sitting!
