Classic French crepes made in one bowl using a blender for a smooth, easy batter. These thin, delicate crepes are cooked on the stovetop and perfect for filling with your favorite sweet or savory toppings. Ready in just 30 minutes, they make a versatile base for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Crepe Batter

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 1/4 cups Milk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp Granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In your blender, add the milk, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, kosher salt, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
  2. Blend Batter: Blend the mixture on high for about 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure all flour is incorporated. Continue blending until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
  3. Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick 10-inch skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Crepe First Side: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Quickly swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer of batter. Cook for 30-40 seconds until the edges are lightly golden and the surface is mostly set.
  5. Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula, and cook for an additional 20 seconds to finish cooking through.
  6. Remove and Cool: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate, allowing it to cool completely before adding any fillings or toppings to avoid melting.
  7. Fold Crepes: Place the cooled crepe on a flat surface. Add your desired filling in the center, leaving space around the edges. Fold one side over the other to cover the filling.
  8. Secure Folds: Fold one corner toward the center and gently press down the edges to hold the crepe in place.
  9. Alternate Serving Option: You can also roll the crepes into a log shape by placing the filling in the center, folding in the sides, and rolling tightly. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a blender to mix the batter for perfect smoothness and easy preparation.
  • Make sure the skillet is well greased and heated to prevent crepes from sticking.
  • Let crepes cool before adding fillings to keep your toppings from melting or sliding off.
  • Crepes can be made ahead of time and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Experiment with sweet or savory fillings such as Nutella, fruit, cheese, or ham.
