INGREDIENTS

- In a blender, combine all ingredients, starting with the wet ingredients followed by the dry. Blend on low speed for about 1 minute until smooth and bubbly. Let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. I used a 12-inch crepe pan.
- Use a measuring cup to portion out the batter based on your pan size:
- 10 to 12-inch pan: Use 1/2 cup of batter per crepe.
- 8-inch pan: Use 1/3 or 1/4 cup of batter per crepe.
- Lightly brush the pan with melted butter. Pour the batter into the top right corner of the pan, then quickly swirl the pan in a circular “O” motion to evenly spread the batter.
- Cook for about 1 minute until the edges start to lift. Flip and cook the other side for about 45 seconds until golden. Transfer to a wooden board to cool.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with butter as needed if the crepes begin to look matte or dry.
NOTES
- No crepe pan? No problem! A non-stick skillet and a thin spatula work just as well.
- This recipe yields approximately 15 crepes (10-inch size). The number of crepes may vary based on pan size.
- To store, let crepes cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap to retain moisture. Best enjoyed the same day for optimal freshness and texture.
