Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar (if using).
Make a well in the center and add the eggs.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking from the center outward to avoid lumps.
Stir in the melted butter (or oil) and vanilla extract (if using). The batter should be smooth and slightly runny.
Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes at room temperature. This helps create tender crepes.
Step 2: Cook the Crepes
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to form a thin, even layer.
Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip gently and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes.
Step 3: Serve
Fill or top with your favorite ingredients such as Nutella, fruit, or cheese.
Fold, roll, or stack the crepes, and garnish with powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
