Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • Butter for pan
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Desired fillings optional

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Add milk, flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, vanilla, and eggs to a blender, then blend on low speed until well combined, about 10 seconds.
  2. Scrape sides and bottom of blender if there's any flour sticking and blend a few seconds longer.
  3. Cover and chill for 1 hour (or overnight if desired).
  4. Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Gently stir batter with a spoon just to blend separated layers.
  6. Lightly butter skillet then lift pan and pour a scant 0.25 cup batter into pan, immediately tilt and swirl pan in circular motion to evenly coat entire bottom portion of pan with batter.
  7. Cook until golden brown on bottom then use an offset spatula to lift an edge of the crepe, grab the edge with your fingertips and flip to cook the opposite side until golden brown spots appear.
  8. Transfer to a wire rack. Repeat until all batter is used, reducing heat briefly if necessary.
  9. Dust crepes with powdered sugar and fold or roll, or fill with desired toppings then fold.
