Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) whole milk (or dairy-free milk like oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for the pan)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: Greek yogurt or whipped cream for serving
  • Optional: Lemon zest (from one lemon) to stir into the batter

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: Beat eggs lightly in a separate bowl, add milk and vanilla extract, then stir gently. Melt butter, let cool slightly, and add to the wet mixture.
  3. Make the batter: Gradually pour wet mixture into dry ingredients, whisking constantly until smooth and slightly thin. Let batter rest 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Prepare the pan: Heat a non-stick crepe pan over medium heat and lightly butter the surface.
  5. Cook the crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan, swirl to coat evenly. Cook 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden. Flip and cook other side 30-60 seconds.
  6. Stack and keep warm: Transfer cooked crepes to a plate, cover loosely to keep warm. Repeat until all batter is used, buttering pan between crepes.
  7. Add fresh berries: Fold berries into crepes or serve piled on top with powdered sugar and mint. Optionally add Greek yogurt or whipped cream.

Notes

Resting the batter is essential for tender crepes. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Butter the pan lightly between crepes to prevent sticking. If batter is too thick after resting, whisk in a splash of milk; if too thin, add a teaspoon of flour. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained.
