This makes a lot of crepes. You can halve the recipe if that makes more sense for you, or keep it as is and have crepes two days in a row.

Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs, room temperature
2 1/3 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Suzette Sauce and Milk Chocolate Sauce, whipped cream, and/or jam (for serving)

Steps:

  • Blend eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a blender until smooth and frothy. Add flour and salt and blend just to combine. Cover batter and chill at least 1 hour.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high, then brush with butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet and swirl to evenly coat bottom. Cook crepe until bubbles form on surface and edges are golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath crepe to loosen and carefully flip. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, about 15 seconds, then transfer to a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining crepes. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
  • Serve crepes with Suzette Sauce, Milk Chocolate Sauce, whipped cream, and/or jam alongside.

Overall, these crepes were a bit disappointing. They were a bit thick and chewy, and the flavor was just okay. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These crepes were a great way to use up some leftover milk. They were quick and easy to make, and they were so versatile. I tried them with a variety of fillings, and they were all delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm gluten-free, so I substituted the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They were just as light and fluffy as regular crepes. I served them with fruit and yogurt, and they were a delicious and healthy breakfast.

These crepes were a bit bland for my taste. I tried adding some sugar to the batter, but it didn't help much. I think they would be better served with a sweet filling, like fruit or chocolate.

I'm French and I can tell you these crepes are legit! They were so easy to make and tasted just like the ones I grew up eating. I served them with Nutella and strawberries, and they were absolutely delicious.

These crepes were a bit tricky to make at first, but once I got the hang of it, they were a breeze. They turned out beautifully and were so light and fluffy. I served them with fresh berries and whipped cream, and they were a huge hit with my family.

I've tried many crepe recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The texture of the crepes was perfect, and they were so easy to flip. I made them with a variety of fillings, and they were all delicious. This recipe is a keeper!
