Servings: 6 crepes
Equipment
- handheld electric mixer
- small nonstick 8-inch skillet
- spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1½ cups whole milk (plant based milk works, too)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 2 cups fresh berries of your choice
Instructions
- Add the flour, granulated sugar, and the egg into a medium mixing bowl and using an electric hand mixer beat for about 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk and continue to mix until smooth. The batter will be very thin.
- Spray an 8-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray, or drizzle a little bit of oil and preheat on medium heat.
- Because you’re making one crepe at a time, that is really the longest part of the recipe. Use about 3 – 4 Tablespoons of batter per crepe. The less you use the thinner your crepe will be. You want to twirl the pan so the batter spreads thinly to all parts of the skillet. Crepes are meant to be very thin. Start with 3 tablespoons and make one or two to see if that’s enough batter. I wouldn’t use more than 4 tablespoons. Once the underside is lightly browned, flip and cook the other side. The crepes will cook for about a total 1 – 2 minutes on side one and about 30 seconds on the second side once you flip it. Don’t overcook the crepes or they will be tough.
- Once the crepe is done, remove it from the pan and place on a plate. Continue to make crepes until the batter is gone. You may need to respray the skillet with nonstick spray. If you’d like, you can separate the crepes with parchment paper so they don’t stick together.
- To serve, fold warm crepes into a triangle and place them on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and scatter fresh berries around the crepes. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
