Sweet Crepes are delicate, thin pancakes that make for an elegant breakfast or dessert. Their versatility is one of the things that makes them so popular—you can fill them with anything from fresh fruits and whipped cream to chocolate spreads or simply enjoy them with a dusting of powdered sugar. Light and slightly sweet, these crepes have a soft, tender texture that melts in your mouth, making them perfect for a wide range of sweet fillings. Easy to make with basic pantry ingredients, they are ideal for creating a simple, yet delightful meal for any time of day.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for the pan)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to whisk until the batter is smooth and has a thin, pourable consistency. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly across the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Stack the Crepes: Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Stack the crepes with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Serve your sweet crepes with your favorite fillings—fresh fruits, Nutella, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Roll or fold the crepes and enjoy!
These Sweet Crepes are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a wide variety of toppings, making them perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
