Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add the milk and water, whisking until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. The batter should be thin and smooth.
- Rest the batter: Let the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the flour absorb the liquid and ensures a tender crepe.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly across the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
- Repeat: Remove the cooked crepe from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
- Serve: Fill your Dessert Crepes with your favorite fillings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, Nutella, bananas, or chocolate sauce. Fold or roll the crepes and top with powdered sugar or a drizzle of syrup for an extra sweet touch.
These light and delicate Dessert Crepes are perfect for any sweet occasion, whether you’re serving them for a fancy dessert or a simple, satisfying treat!
