French Crepe Recipe
These large, thin French crepes are a hit with kids and adults. They are easy to make and don't require special equipment--just a blender and griddle.
Servings: 8 Crepes
Ingredients
- 3 Large Eggs
- 2 C Milk
- 1¾ C Flour
- 1 T Sugar
- 1 T Vanilla
- 2 T Melted Butter
Instructions
The French Crepe Batter
- Crack the eggs into the blender and blend on low for one minute.
- While the blender is running, slowly add the milk and flour. To do this, alternate between adding about 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 of flour. Add the flour gradually. If you add the flour too quickly, it tends to clump up instead of blending smoothly.
- Add the sugar, vanilla, and melted butter. Blend until smooth. Note: it will be a thin, runny batter.
Cooking the French Crepes
- Pre-heat your griddle to medium heat and treat with cooking spray.
- I use a 1/2 C measuring cup to both scoop the batter and to spread it evenly on the griddle.
- Use the bottom of the measuring cup to evenly spread the batter into a circle.
- Cook until the top of the crepe no longer appears wet. This may be 1-2 minutes. Then flip and cook for about 1 minute.
- You can make two crepes at a time on a griddle.
