Crepes are thin pancakes originally from France. They have a really nice tender texture If you have a blender, all you need is just put all the ingredients and it will be ready in like 15 minutes. Place the flour, milk, eggs, butter, salt, sugar, and vanilla if using in a blender. Blend until the batter is smooth, about 20 seconds.

Alternatively, whisk everything together in a bowl until thoroughly combined and frothy. Before cooking the crêpes, assemble everything you’ll need by the stovetop: the batter, the pan, the oil, the spatula. If your bowl doesn’t have a pour spout, have a ladle or 1/4-cup measuring cup handy.

Place a 10-inch nonstick pan or 8-inch crêpe pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Let it sit for a minute to get hot. Pour in about 1/4 cup of batter. Immediately pick up the pan and swirl it to coax the batter into an even layer on the bottom of the pan.

When the crêpe has browned slightly on the bottom, carefully work a spatula underneath it and flip. Cook the second side briefly, just to set the batter.

Continue making crêpes with the rest of the batter, adding more oil as needed to keep the crêpes from sticking. If not eating the crêpes immediately, stack them one on top of the other as they cool. If they seem sticky, place a square of plastic wrap or parchment paper between them.
