Crepe Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 TBL melted butter

Whipped Cream Ingredients:

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 TBL maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla

Crepe Directions:

  • Measure milk into 4-cup or larger liquid measuring cup. Add all other ingredients except butter. Whisk together by hand or using an electric whisk or emulsifier. Add melted butter last. Mix well.
  • Heat frying pan on stove over medium heat.
  • Once pan is warm, melt 1/8-1/4 TBL butter all around pan. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the center of the pan and immediately swirl pan around to move batter evenly around the pan. After about a minute and when the edges of the crepe start to pull away from the pan, take a rubber spatula and run it around the pan underneath the edge of the crepe.
  • Carefully turn crepe over to continue cooking on the other side.
  • Serve warm and dressed with your favorite toppings.

Favorite Crepe Combos:

  • Sliced strawberries, bananas, chocolate hazelnut spread topped with whipped cream
  • Lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar
  • Sliced fresh peaches, whipped cream, caramel sauce, and a dash of cinnamon

Whipped Cream Directions:

  • Combine ingredients into bowl. Whip with stand mixer, hand mixer or by hand until cream is thick, careful not to overmix as it will turn into butter.
